I have a clocking card system with a USB card reader. I have a form with a
textbox and code in the afterupdate property. I need my application to run
minimised and then when input is made through the USB reader then have my
app run maximised and run the code. Is this possible?

thanks in advance

Mark,

This command will maximise your app:
Docmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMaximize

Will the Access app run in the background while other programs are run?

Thanks for your reply. The idea is that the app will always be running
minimised and other programs will be run alongside it but when a user swipes
their clock card, on input from the card reader or a certain string of data
the maximise code will run. Can this be done?
