Hi,

What is the best way to prevent a user from right clicking
on a form?

I've identified the following:
1. Security.
2. Trapping the right mouse click event.

Is there an item in the properties of a form to do this?

Thanks

Have you tried setting the form's Shortcut Menu property (on the Other
tab of the form's property sheet) to No?

Oh, I see. Silly me. I'm always doing things the hard way.

Another potentially silly question. How does one remove
the menu and the formview bars?

I don't think you can remove the menu completely, but you can remove
most of it. In Tools -> Startup..., uncheck the options "Allow Full
Menus" and "Allow Built-in Toolbars". You can also uncheck "Allow
Default Shortcut Menus", if you don't want *any* of your forms to have
default right-click menus.
 
If you want to remove the MenuBar completely for the Form,
set the Form's MenuBar Property to:

= -1

(including the equal sign). Not sure of the logic but it
does work. It will leave a blank grey bar, however.
Thus, it is probably more useful to leave the full Menubar
or the condensed MenuBar in place if you don't have a
custom MenuBar.
