Hello,

I have written an Access application. I basically have my data stored in a
mdb file and the UI and VBA code in another mdb file. The UI I am currently
using is a switchbox that launches some forms.

I would like to rewrite the UI part and have it look like other "standard"
Windows applications (Word, Excel,...): a menu bar with options like "File",
"Edit", "Insert", and some custom options. I can't find any article
explaining how to get rid of the "Access shell" that surrounds my
swithboard.

Any pointer would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Xavier
 
Xavier,

This is done by creating a standard menu bar using Tools, Customize, and
then assigning the menu bar to the form's MenuBar property.

Hope that helps.
