hide form on startup

[Gil]

on start up i have a form that opens but i want it to stay hidden.
i tried a few things so far and i had no luck.
i did :
Private Sub Form_Load()
me.visible = false
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
me.visible = false
end sub

i even opened another form that its Load() event tells the form to hide
and it still doesnt work.
what could be the problem?

You can actually specify that your form opens as a hidden form. If you
have a startup form that opens the form you want hidden, you can do a
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmHidden",,,,, acHidden

yea that works too.
i got around it by setting the forms time interval to 1
and on the timerinterval event i told the form to hide and than set
interval to 0
this worked fine.
thanks

The other option is to open the form using a macro and set the "Window
Mode" property to "Hidden".
