SUMMARY

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

The AutoExec macro will not run when a previously hidden database is unhidden or when a minimized Database window is maximized again.

The AutoExec macro will run only when a database that contains an AutoExec macro is opened. It will not run at any other time unless you call it from the Database window, from code or from another macro.
