Break out of access?

How do I make access look like it’s not running? as in get my forms out of the main access app window?

yes, you can tell what I’m working on :slight_smile:

I think you have to convert to an application

Can’t offer any other help than that as I rarely use it.

But a googling of Access as application or a play of words on that theme should help your search for the answers.

Well you can really make it look that way…well sort of:

The thing I have done in the past is max the window:
Hide the Database

use: Application.SetOption “ShowWindowsInTaskbar”, False

This will turn off the Taskbar…which makes it look more APP like:

I do this in a splash screen…I open a small splash then load a back ground form that is maxed out…then I close the SPLASH with Timer events…
