Minimize database?

[AJ]

Can you minimize a database while a form is open and the user is inputing data?
(So only the form is visible?)
Thanks.

Yes, you can but managing it is a pain in the butt. You need to set all of
your forms as POPUP and you have to close one form before opening another and
when using reports you have to maximize the database window so you can view
the reports.

I used to do that for one database years ago but it became such a nightmare
to manage it all that I just quit doing it.

Take a look at:

also, if the form is a popup, it can exist outside of the Access MDI, so you
could resize the MDI so it is smaller than the form, and hide it behind the
form. That does not minimize it though.
