Hi,

I have an access database application and I would like to hide the
actual program so the user can only see the form he is currently on.
Is that possible? I really hope so...
 
go to tools/startup and enter the location where you would like access to start
Click to expand...

like Database Tools? I don't see any startup option. Or are you
talking about in the Access Options screen..

Possible, but cumbersome. It's not a built-in feature, so you have to call
the Windows API to do it. This link describes how:

API: Manipulate Access Window

Although the article doesn't say so, the form must be set to both PopUp
*and* Modal.

I will have to read up on it and see how to do it..sounds like it will
be a bit tricky...but I always like a challenge...:)
