Getting rid of the "Getting Started with Access" page

Anybody know how to prevent the annoying Access 2007 "Getting Started
with Access" page from showing up when the database is closed using
DoCmd.Quit? My database is used in a terminal server environment and I
need to be able to prevent users from creating new databases or
opening existing ones using that page.

Thanks!

That page does not show up for me when I close my app using

Access.
You may mean at startup time. If so, just provide a shortcut to your
application: access will load and immediately open your app, bypassing
this page. Users would still be able to navigate back to it if they
really wanted, but perhaps out of sight is out of mind.

Are you using Access 2007? I am already using a shortcut to open the
app (in fact, I have to because I'm using an mdw file) and I don't see
that page until the user closes Access with DoCmd.Quit. However, when
I use the X button in the upper right corner, the "getting started"
page doesn't appear.

Try Application.Quit instead of DoCmd.Quit.
