vba - Suggested startup tasks for access split DB (AutoExec)

Question

I am working on a MS Access split database and I read in many places to create AutoExec macro to automate a few startup tasks like securing front end (hide ribbon etc.). I am learning as I am going through the project so I am fairly a newbie to access programming.

Can anyone list, like a few "good practice" startup tasks that can be added to the front end and if possible with sample codes/links to sites.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use macros incl. AutoExec as little as possible, as these are hard to debug and document.

Best practice is to specify in Settings the form to open at launch, then let this run the startup tasks you need.
