I have created a Access Database for our company runnding MySQL back
end and Access front end

All the form are done but when i load it up it give teh use access toa
all the edit bars at the top and the Nabigation pane.

I do not want any of these things viewable to users, is there a way to
revove every thing apart from the forms i hgave created so they can
only use my buttons and on forms to contact the database

You don't mention what version of ms-access???

You most certainly can, and should hide all of the ms-access interface. The
options to complete hide and keep people out of the ms-access interface can
easily be done using the tools->start-up options. Using those options allows
you to complete hide the ms-access interface (tool bars, database window
etc). Also, using these options means you
do not have to bother setting up security.

Try downloading and running the 3rd example at my following web site that
shows a hidden ms-access interface, and NO CODE is required to do
this....but just some settings in the start-up.

Check out:

After you try the application, you can exit, and then re-load the
application, but hold down the shift key to by-pass the start-up options. If
want, you can even disable the shift key by pass. I have a sample mdb file
that will let you "set" the shift key bypass on any application you want.
You can get this at:

So, in addition to the above, I suggest that you distribute a mde to your
users.
