Can not hide the Database Windows on specific databases, please help!

[Kelvin Beaton]

I inharited about 12 databases that I want to hide the Database Windows on.
I've done this many times before in the Startup Windows.
For what ever reason no matter if the box is checked or not, it will not
hide the Window.
Access security is setup on this database and I'm loggin in as Admin.
I converted the database to 2002-2003 format, that didn't make any
differenece.
I've ran compact and repair a couple of times.
There is no Autoexec macro that runs.
I'm running Office 2003, and just ran all the updates.
Running Win XP Pro with all it's updates.

Any ideas what I might check next?

Thanks

Kelvin

Three possibilities come to mind:

First one. Maybe this?

ACC2002: Database Window Is Displayed When You
Click the Application Icon Even Though You Turned Off
the "Display Database Window" Startup Option
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313915

Second. If you are using the using the built-in Switchboard Manager,
the Switchboard Form's Open event probably has some code similar to this:

DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "Switchboard", True
DoCmd.Minimize

This code will minimize the Database Window, however, it will override any
setting you have in the Startup Properties to hide the window. So find those
two lines of code in the form's code module and delete them. Please note
that you may have similar code elsewhere even if you do not use the SBM.

Third:
This is written for Access 2002, but one other thing to check:
ACC2002: The Database Window Is Displayed When a
Database Is Opened from the Most Recently Used File List
Even After You Clear the "Display Database Window" Check Box
