logon question

[Guest]

i am developing in application for a client using access 97. the application must be secure, as it will be on a network.
i set up a database password using the standard access security section.

when one signs on, a dialog box appears asking for the password. in the background is a screen that has a toolbar of
file, edit, view, insert, tools, window, help. if someone selects cancel on the dialog box, this toolbar is
available to them. you can open other databases or this one by going to file.

how do i either get rid of this screen or deactivate the toolbar?

thanks

First of all, forget the database password altogether. It's virtually
useless and easy to crack. Second, you might want to consider distributing
you app as a runtime file. You will need to obtain the Developer's Edition
of Access to do this, and I'm not sure it is available for sale in Access 97
any more, but you might be able to locate a copy on Amazon or something.
