Okay, I wasn't explicit about this, but I fully agree that this is a necessity for addressing your scenario. Finally, it would be something like declaring a certain form as *the* main window for the database. If the DB doc opens, this form comes up (instead of the standard window), if the form closes, the DB doc closes, too. Finally, just a slight shift in responsibilities. > Ok - there are few things to think about here. Such as closing the ODB > file.

Extending this logic to consider a window different from the default app window as main DB window wouldn't be too difficult, I'd say.
