&gt;where and how would I open the hidden form? &nbsp;<br />
Tools menu: Startup, in the Display Form/Page combo box you'll need to choose a form to display when your application starts up (the Switchboard will work), and in that form's .Open event make the call to open your hidden form.

this is a continuation of question Q_21583755 -- actually, I changed what I wanted the question to be, so I have added this question. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If I was to go with the hidden form route, where and how would I open the hidden form? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Our Switchboard will always be open -- other code is based on it, and will not run, if the switchboard is closed.<br />
<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated!<br />
