Hide Access Application

[QB]

Is there a way to hide the main application window & toolbars... while
keeping a form visible?

Yes, but it's cumbersome to work with for any but the simplest application.
See this link:

In addition to the stipulations mentioned there, you have to make the form
both PopUp *and* Modal, and you have to ensure it is actually visible before
hiding the application window.

I just googled for Hide Access Window and the first several
hits all seemed relevant. Some of the fairly long articles
even provided all the needed code.

Yes, I did as well, but have not yet managed to get one to actually work. I
seem to end up hiding the entire application (all objects)... Dirks
Explanation to ensure that the form is modal & popup may explain the problem
though.

One way or another this is a nice to have, but far from a necessity.
Functionality is far more important than this cosmetic dressing. Nice to
learn new thing though.

Thank you both for taking the time to answer me.

Perhaps this can also be added to the mix:

As with Dirk's suggestion, the forms that you want to make visible must be
popup.
