Hi Tina
Do you know where this form is opening from.
If it's a macro - it's called Autoexec
locate that form opening event
Click on it, You will see an option called Window Mode
in the bottom section of the macro window. Change this to Hidden.
If it's opening from code/module, then change the line to read like this.
DoCmd.OpenForm "YourFormName", , , , , acHidden
Hope this helps....
