Due to time constraint, I am incorporating security to my
database programatically. However on the logon dialog box
when I right click on it, the design view menu option is
available. How can I disable both the unhide database and
design view menu options.

Thank you.
 
You can set the "shortcut" menu option for the form in the "other" tab.

However, you don' have to set each form, and do this on a form by form
basis.

The tools and settings you need to hide all of the interface from users is
in tools->startup

Try downloading and running the 3rd example here:
http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn/msaccess/DownLoad.htm

If you run the above, you will how all of the ms-access interface is hidden,
and prevented from being used by users. Note that no code, no security was
needed to set this up (only need to set the startup options).

So, try the above download. Note that to really keep users out, you would
then convert the application to a mde (that is again found under
tools->database), and you would also disable the shift by-pass key.

Doing both of this only takes 1 minute..and then your application would be
locked up quite nicely.
