How to suppress auto macros AND the auto-start form's Form_Load or Form_Activate

[jasmith4]

I know that if a database has an Auto_Exec macro, and you open in programmatically, you can suppress Auto_Exec by setting Application.AutomationSecurity = msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable first:

        [B]AccessApp.AutomationSecurity = msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable[/B]
        AccessApp.OpenCurrentDatabase MyDatabase$

But if it has a startup form (like Switchboard), and that form has a Form_Load or similar event, the form starts up anyway, and the event's code is run. Shouldn't that startup form and/or all its code be suppressed too? If not, how do you suppress it?

I don't know if you are looking for a temporary solution so that you can tinker with the database but if you hold down the shift key while opening the file that will disable any start up forms...

I think I just found it: the setting of AutomationSecurity has no effect if in Trust Center Settings / Macro Options you choose Enable all macros.
