Delete lines that automatically divide the form

[Cruisinid]

I've created a number of forms which contain headers. Is there any way to
get rid of the line that divides the form horizontally between the header
section and the detail section? Also, there is a heavy bar on the left side
of the screen. Can I get rid of that?

Finally, how do I set the screen up so that the form fills the entire screen
(without controls, or Access toolbars)

MANY thanks in advance!

Cruisinid,
The horizontal bar between the Header and the Detail section would be
the Detail Header line, and can not be hidden.
The Page and Form Header and Footers can be hidden, but not the Detail
header.

The heavy line on the right (aka Record Selectors) can be hidden by
setting the form's Record Selectors property to No.

Thank you!! I guess the other forms that I've seen that look "nice" have
been created without a header, even though it may appear as though they do.
Sneaky!
Thanks again.

I think maybe what you are looking for is the Dividing Lines property, on
the Format tab of the form's property sheet. Set it to No.

Also, there is a heavy bar on the left side

That's the record selector. Set the Record Selectors property, also on the
Format tab, to No.

Now *that's* non-trivial. You can hide the Access application window, using
the code posted here:

though it needs a sllight modification. But it puts requirements on your
form that are cumbersome, so I'd only recommend doing it for very special
applications.
