hello everyone,
I have a database that has only two tables and one form. There i
about 100 people that will be using this system(not all at the sam
time), and I want to hide everything from them except the form
including the microsoft access window behind the form. I already kno
how to disable everything under Tools->Startup, and have done tha
however, I want the form to look like a stand-alone application. if
just make the access window small and put it behind the form, tha
looks alright, but i don't want to have to go to everyone's computer
and do that! i've already hidden everything else. Any ideas???
Thanks very much in advance

If you really are using just one form and no reports, you might be able
to use the code found here to accomplish your goal:

However, heed the warnings as this procedure does have some pitfalls!

If you have trouble setting this up, post back and I'll walk
you though the process.
