MS Access Forum / New Users / February 2008Really stuck trying to make a form that works outside of access
Help! I have made a really simple table and a basic form that fills the data into the table. I want to make it so I can have a shortcut to the form on my desktop and link straight to the form, without having to load access so it just runs the form on it's own in a little winodw. Is this possible and how can I do it? Thankyou > Help! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thankyou An Access form cannot be run without running Access. There is a sort of hack where you can hide the Access application window behind the form so that all the users sees is the form, but Access is still there.

If you wish to always open this form whenever the database opens, just set Tools + StartUp + Display Form/Page to the name of this form. Then uncheck the Display Database Window check box. If you then ever need to get back to the database window, either press F11 while the database is open, or hold down the shift key when you open the database.
