' This function is to be called as such:
' Call fSetAccessWindow (argument)
' The arguments are as follows;
' SW_HIDE - this hides the Access database window
' SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED - this maximizes the window
' SW_SHOWMINIMIZED - this minimizes the window
' SW_SHOWNORMAL - this just shows (as normal) the window








Function fSetAccessWindow(nCmdShow As Long)
'Usage Examples
'Maximize window:
' ?fSetAccessWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
'Minimize window:
' ?fSetAccessWindow(SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)
'Hide window:
' ?fSetAccessWindow(SW_HIDE)
'Normal window:
' ?fSetAccessWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL)
