Can i run a form without opening Access itself, or that it is invi

[Guest]

Hello,
i have a db and i want to run just one ore more forms, but i dont want to
see Access it self. i made this db for people how are 'afraid' of acces or
other 'strange' programms.

PS i'm from the Netherland so my English is not the best

Harm,

Access forms will only run within Access. You can hide the database
window and the menu bar and toolbar(s), if you want, so your users will
only see the form(s) they are working with. To do this, go Tools >
Startup and play around with the settings to see how they work.

To open the database by-passing those settings (so you get full menu /
toolbars and the database window etc) hold down the Shift key while the
database opens.

HTH,
Nikos

Thnx for your reply,
I tryed what you suggested, but it was not possible to hide acces itself
maybe there is away with VB/VBA?
I could indeed hide toolbars but i am hoping that i could hide Access except
the forms.

Yes, you can with code. Have a look at:

Just be sure you pay particular attention to the catches!
