Notes

• Changes to these settings in the Startup dialog box won't take effect until the next time the Microsoft Access database or Microsoft Access project is opened.
• The Northwind sample database has a startup form. To view this form, open the Northwind database in your Microsoft Office folderÆs Samples folder. The Startup form appears automatically when you open Northwind, but you can view it whenever you want by clicking Forms under Objects in the Database window, clicking Startup, and then clicking the Open button on the Database window toolbar.
