Set Startup Form Through Code 1

[Hmadyson]

I have been following the directions for setting Access properties via code from faq181-1172. Unfortunately I cannot get the setting for the display form to change. It tried using ChangeProperty &quot;StartupShowForm&quot;, dbText, &quot;<Form Name>&quot;, with the ChangeProperty code from the FAQ. Does anyone know the correct property that I need to set for this?

Would you mind rewording that and asking a question. Pretend the faq doesn't exist, just ask us the question and tell us what you are trying to do. Are you trying to change the startup form? Is the Switchboard getting in your way? Just curious. Thanks.

I would just use a procedure as the startup object and open a form from there. you would need a command line parameter to designate the desired form, or to assign it base on inf avail at start, like the username ...

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over

SetProperty &quot;StartupForm&quot;, dbText, <formname>
