Hiding my Form 1

[SiJP]

I'm using Access 2000. How can I effectively 'Hide' a form so it is not visible to users. I still need it to be loaded as I have an OnTimer event running....

Form.Visible = False

does not work.

TIA,

Simon

Simon,

Have you used Me.Visible = False in the sub that opens the next form?

Don't understand what you mean.. the form opens.. in the OnOpen event of the form, me.vasisble = False doesn't work!

There is only one form involved..!

Thanks
Simon

If you only have one form, what is the user seeing?

Hi, this may not be exactly the correct way to do this but it works for me.


Set the hidden form property to PopUp.
Right Click on the form and set the attribute to Hidden.

On load:

Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.MoveSize 30000
End Sub

Hope that helps.

pdldavis.. your idea may not be the 'right' way to do it.. but it works nevertheless - thanks for the answer!

Lightenup, again thanks for your input.
