Is there any way to open a main menu form without showing the access window
behind it and make it appear as a standalone application? l only want the
main menu form to opened not display what is sitting inside and if there is
code which part l must write. l tried this at my properties form event onload
DoCmd.ShowToolbar"FormView"acToolbarNoStartup.
For details, l try to finish my assigment.
Thanks in advance

Tools + StartUp
Enter the name of the form you wish to appear when the database opens
in the Display Form/Page drop-down box.
Remove the check mark from the display Database Window.
If you also don't want the normal Tool Bars/Menu bars to appear,
uncheck the appropriate Allow Full Menu and allow Default Shortcut
menu bars, as well as the use Access Special Keys check box.

Caution: After you do this, in order to then see the application
window to make changes, you must hold down the Shift key when you open
the database, or press F11 while it's open (unless you have unchecked
the Allow Access Special Keys box above).
