Application Startup

[RG]

I have an access application with initial form in the startup settings.
After putting some breakpoints in some of the modules, these modules seem to
execute before the initial form. If this is the case, what are these
modules/forms called or where else do you define them?

Thanks in advance

The AutoExec macro executes when you start up.

If you are specifying a custom ribbon in Access 2007, that code runs very
early in the load process.

After that, the startup form is loaded, so code in its events (Open, Load,
Current, Activate etc) will run.

If you are trying to validate links to the back end in a split database,
make sure you use an unbound form as your startup form, so it does not try
to load any data.
