You would open the form in design mode. Use the toolbox to place a checkbox on the form
and change the caption of its label to "Do not show this again at startup".

Now for what I think you really wanted. To get this to work, create a table with a field
for this checkbox. It will be a one record, one field table. In the OnLoad event of your
startup form, check the value of this field (DLookup will work for this) and if it is
True, cancel the load of the form. Give the user another method to reenable this if they
want (either another way to open the form so they can uncheck the box or some other way to
reset it.)

Also, do you want a different form to show if this one doesn't? If so, you may need 2
fields in the table, one to hold the name of the next startup form also. You would call
this 2nd form from the startup form's load event if the value of the check field is true.

Another way to do this is to reverse engineer the method shown in the sample Northwind.mdb
database. See the form and module named "Startup".
