Sure. You create a switchboard form that opens at startup. I prefer using
unbound switchboards, not the bound style that the switchboard wizard
creates. You allow your users to only open forms and reports. Hide the
Database Window, disable Use Access Special Keys (Tools > Startup options),
remove the standard menus and possibly even disable the Shift key.
Create your own QBF (query by form) search form instead of letting the user
use the built-in Find and Replace, since you cannot restrict this built-in
method to Find only. You can also convert your .mdb to the compiled .mde form
to help prevent unauthorized changes to the structure of the database.
