Is there a way (fairly easily) to make Access open straight up to the
Switchboard, so that the users don't really notice Access.

Click to expand...

Tools + StartUp
Select the switchboard form in the Display Form/Page box.
If you also wish to hide the database folder, remove the check mark
from the Display Database Window box.

In the future, if you ever need to show the main application folder,
either hold down the shift key while opening the database, or press
F11 when the database is open.

Thanks alot guys. That works great. I am fairly new to programming with
vba. I am a recent graduate and in my new job the first thing they wanted me
to do was build an Access database that will allow them to schedule the
production cycles for their machines. I know more about vb.net, so I am not
totally ignorant of programming. But, the differences sometimes are
confusing. Anyway this group has been alot of help. Thanks.
