    I have tried this code… but so far i have no success. Don’t know if this will be on a new module or on a startup form? I’ve tried both but still not working.

    Hello,

    This is exactly what I’m trying to accomplish, not sure where to enter the vba code so that properties are set at startup,

    Thanks boss. Am wondering if there’s a way of programmatically changing the startup form

    1. Hi Stefan,

      I am not aware of it but I think you may create a temporary startup form and depending on the criteria (username / role / access level ), open up needed form.

    Probably dead by now but is their a way to define the icon for the forms and reports separately from the application icon?
