Hi

The switchboard itself has checkboxes.

When I start Access two tabs appear - Switchboard and Contacts List. When I
then open, say, the Contacts Form that also appears as a tab... and so on as
I open/ close tables/forms/reports, etc.

I'd ideally like just the Switchboard to open at startup so that other users
have an easier interface to start trying things out as I set them up.
Eventually, I will have it so that the switchboard is maximised and that is
all they see. (I'm still very new so at the moment feel happier having all
the Navigation visible for myself)

Does that make sense?!

Many thanks

Does your switchboard have tabs on it?
If yes, then make a copy of the switchboard for later use.

On the original switchboard delete the page of the tab control with the
Contacts List.

I would like only the main switchboard to be visible on start-up but at the
moment a "Contacts list" form (inherited from the Contacts template in
Access
2007) appears on a second tab (I'm not at ths stage of wanting it
full-screen
yet - though that will come).

I have followed the instructions found on the boards:
Office button Access Options Current database but there isn't anything
that I can see related to startup.
In Display Form, I have selected "Switchboard" from the drop down list
but
can't see any way of unselecting Contacts List.

Is there a way to "lose" the Contacts List" at startup? (Preferably nice
and
simple!)

Many thanks
