I'm new to access. I'm trying to set up my database so that when the user
opens it, they only see the Form that I've built. How do I do this?
Currently, when they open the database, they have full access.

Thanks!!!
 
The easiest way to do this is to go to tools->startup...

Set Display Form/Page to the Form that you want the user to see.

For extra security you can uncheck any/all of the checkboxes.
(Display Database Window, Display Status Bar, Allow Full Menus, Allow
Default Shortcut Menus, Use Access Special Keys, Allow Built-In Toolbars,
Allow Toolbar/Menu Changes).

However once you uncheck some of the boxes, you will also be limited unless
you hold the Shift key down while opening the database.

You can play around with that just to see what you like best.
 
Awesome! Thanks tiger.
