Form opens even when not specified in Startup
Hi.
OK, this is probably very simple but I can't see it. I have a small mdb that I wanted to experiment on, by converting it to Access 2007. So the first thing I thought was to remove the feature that opens a main form on Startup. So I go to Startup and nothing is specified! I've looked in the Event code of the form in question and only a Maximise on open event exists. I've tried introducing a different form in Startup and they both open. Can anyone tell me what could be causing this form to open, if it's not specified in Startup? I think the answer is going to embarrass me. Thanks, |

Check the "Macros" tab -- do you have one named "AutoExec"? Whatever's in that will automatically execute on startup. -- Regards Jeff Boyce www.InformationFutures.net Microsoft Office/Access MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Microsoft IT Academy Program Mentor http://microsoftitacademy.com/ "JohnB" wrote in message ...

That was it Jeff, thanks.
In my defence I should say that this is not one of my designs - I only got involoved when the users wanted some reports put together. I think I'll remove the Autoexec function and revert to the Startup feature - much more visable for something that's very simple. Thanks again.

Just make sure that the AutoExec macro isn't doing anything else in addition
to opening the form before you delete it. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!) "JohnB" wrote in message ... That was it Jeff, thanks.
