Switchboard opening but covered on startup
As instructed by the book by Feddema and online, I went to Tools Startup,
and under Display Form/Page I chose Switchboard. It does open automatically, but you don't see it until you uncover it; the top window is still another form on startup. I don't want users to have to close a form to get at the Switchboard. Why isn't the Switchboard on top? I've looked up several similar questions here, and the solution was always what I just did. Thanks, Glen |

Something else must be starting the other form. Go to Macros and see if you
have one named Autoexec. A macro by that name will run when the database first starts. I bet that there is a form starting from it. You'll have to decide how you want to handle it. You could just remove that line from the macro if it does other things; delete the entire macro; or even add starting your Switchboard from the macro after the other form. -- Jerry Whittle Light.

Hey, thanks, that did it!
The macro only did that one thing, so I deleted it. "Jerry Whittle" wrote: Something else must be starting the other form. Go to Macros and see if you have one named Autoexec.
