Start up Screen

[Guest]

I was using a tutorial pratice database. It does almost what I want my
database to do, with some changes, so I backed it up as my own database.

When I start, the database, the help screen, with the pratice instructions
shows up.
I can click it off but when I restart the database, again, it's back.

Is there a way to stop this screen from showing up or is it just built in
because it is a pratice lesson?

Thanks

Hi Jerry,

Press F11 to show the database window. Check that there isn't an autoexec
macro opening the form. Next, right click the database title bar and left
click startup. check that the form isn't opened there. Lastly, if there is
another form specified there, check that there isn't an event behind the
other form that opens the help screen.

Look at Tool>>Startup Display Form/Page

See if there is something listed there. If not, look for a macro called
Autoexec to see if that is where it comes from

Thanks Damian,
I can't find anything unsual in the start-up. I can't find a autoexe either.

I did a right click on the help screen and clicked properties. I shows that
it is a html from the microsoft tutorial site. But I can't find a referance
to it anywhere.

Is there another place to check macros, other than clicking micros under
options?
I can't see any autoexe anywhere.

Go to tools>>options>>View and check the box for Hidden objects. Now look
at macros for 'Autoexec'

There might not be one.

Found it.
I right clicked under objects. Then clicked database properties. then
custom. There was a Name called MSHLP I wiped thru it and clicked DELETE.
Then closed the database and reopened it and the help popdown was gone.

Thanks for sending on the right track.
