Thanks for any help.
I have a database that when I open, a form automatically opens too. I have
opened the form with design view, and right-clicked on the form for events,
but I can't see anything in there that causes it to open right away. I would
like to stop the form from automatically opening, just to save me a second
everyday by not having to close the form then go to the item I want to.
Thanks again.
 
In the Database Window, click on any tab (forms, reports, etc) and choose
StartUp. In dialog box that pops up, there will be a default form. Just
remove that. Alternately, hold the Shift Key when you open the database.

Delete the entry from:
Tools | Startup | Display form.

If that does not do the trick, see if you have a macro named AutoExec.
 
As a quick guess, try looking in Tools|Startup and make sure that the form
is not selected in the Dispay Form / Page option.
Also, check if you have an AutoExec macro that is opening form.
Failing that, hold down shift when opening the database as this will bypass
any startup code.

Hope that helps,

Dave
