Database Startup Issue

[ChiTownDiva]

Afternoon All...

I have a database where I've changed the startup option not to display the database window.

It works half the time. Sometime the form comes up, sometimes the database window comes up. I even have an AutoExec macro that says open the form.

What is going on? I don't understand why the database window would still be coming up.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Could the problem by with the macro interfering with the startup window? In the past, when I encountered this type of situation it was because the macro had a line it it that affected the "active" window. The user assumed the active window was the database main window, when in reality that was not always the case.

1.Try disabling (renaming) the AutoExec macro, then reopen the file. See if that helps.

2. Try using the AutoExec macro to minimize and hide the database main window as well as open the form. Be careful about the order in which you specify the actions, as macro actions are run in the exact order in which they are written.
