Hello. In the Northwind example database in Office XP there is a startup module which contains some startup code. I also created a startup module in my own database application with a OpenStartUp function in it just like the example, but Access never tends to run it.
So how to run start up code? Is the AutoExec macro the only way?

Yes, either you use the AutoExec macro to run your function in a standard module.
the other choice is to place a call to your code in the start-up form (if you use one).
I use the start-up form since I all kinds of cool things on it anyway.

I've used the load or open event of a MainMenu form opened from Startup to process code or call a public function.
