Hi

Is there a way to setup globally which toolbar to show?

For eg. If activescreen is a form then toolbar A, If it's a report then
toolbar B, If none then toolbar C

Thanks in advance
Richard

Yes, each form you have has in te "other" tab the name of menu bar and also
the name of hte tool bar you want to display. If you leave either one blank,
then the "main", or default menu bar shows (which you specify in the
tools->startup).

Making menu bars, and tools bars in ms-access is great way to improve the
useablebilty of hte appcltion.

Hi

Thanks Albert for the tip. This is what I am doing.

When I have a form on the screen, the toolbar is A., and when I click to
open a report, the report's toolbar B doesn't cover A, thereby resulting in
2 toolbar opened and pushing down the report and consequently the form.

Thanks again

Ah, ok. That sounds about right.

I always specify menus for the forms, and also for my reports I have a
custom menu bar also. However, I don't use toolbars...and think they are
cumulative. If you can just specify the menu bars in place of toolbars, then
you don't have to use any code.

In you case, you might have to put some code in the reprots on-open event
(and also in the reprots on-close event). Not the best soltion...
