custom toolbar on a form

I'm trying to place a custom toolbar permanently on a form. I don't want
users to be able to move or close it, and I have a specific location I'd like
it to be. I have tried a macro, but it is moveable and has ended up behind
the form. Ultimately I'm looking for the following buttons to show
permanently: Cut, Copy, Paste, Apply Filter, Toggle Filter.

I would settle for command buttons if that is a better approach, but those
don't appear to be an option when running the command button wizard.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

You most certainly can, and should hide all of the ms-access interface. The
options to complete hide and keep people out of the ms-access interface can
easily be done using the tools->start-up options. Using those options allows
you to complete hide the ms-access interface (tool bars, database window
etc). Also, using these options means you
do not have to bother setting up security.

Try downloading and running the 3rd example at my following web site that
shows a hidden ms-access interface, and NO CODE is required to do
this....but just some settings in the start-up.

After you try the application, you can exit, and then re-load the
application, but hold down the shift key to by-pass the start-up options. If
want, you can even disable the shift key by pass. I have a sample mdb file
that will let you "set" the shift key bypass on any application you want.
You can get this at:

That sample application has some custom menu bars, and does essentially as
you ask. (note how you can't move those custom menu bars).
