Don't show any Access Screens?

[Karl]

Is there a way run Access 2000 without showing any screens at at?

I Shell to Access from another progam and use Hide in the Shell command

In Access there is an AutoExec macro that calls a fucntion that runs a small
module and exits Access.

For about a 1/2 second I see an Access screen when Access opens.

Is there any way to run this so that the user doesn't see any sign of Access
at all.

What does your module do?

Is your "parent" program VBA-enabled? If it is, you could automate Access.

IIRC create a very small bmp with the same name as your MDB. Access will use that
file as a splash screen.
