Hi,
Does anyone know how to completely remove all the Access
controls in the actual Application toolbar. This would
include, File, Edit, View....etc, as well as "-","X" and
maximize.
I do not need to do this on the actual form as I know how
this is done. I literally want the form displayed fully,
with just my customized toolbar displayed.
I have coded the forms with Boolean so that the only way
to exit is via my exit control, but the user can still use
the minimize, file..etc.
Thanks,
Nigel

Click to expand...


Would hiding the menu bar take care of it?

DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo
 
Just use the tools->start-up options, and you can hide everything.


Try and download and run the 3rd example at:

http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn/msaccess/DownLoad.htm

You will notice how all ms-access is hidden. I did not use ONE line of
code...but only the start-up options. Give the download a try.

After you play...then exit...then re=enter the application, but hold down
the shift key to by-pass the tools->startup options.

Thus, during development, I often exit the application, and then re-enter to
try the application as the user will see it. Then, to go back to work, I
exit, and then re-enter, but hold down the shift key to get back into
development mode.

Of course, to properly lock up the application, you will convert it to a
mde, and also lock up the shift key by-pass. However, you don't need to do
this part until RIGHT before deployment.
