There is that way, but I want users to concentrate on data entry on a form,
and not be too distracted by other activity on screen. The aim is to create
what +ACI-looks like+ACI- a standalone app, even though it is really Excel?

either
+AD4- hide or minimise? (From within Excel/VBA)

+AD4- I can do it with the VB Editor, and using an If routine with GetObject can
+AD4- do it with Word, but the same code won't work with Powerpoint.
