Hding menu bar

[Jonathan Blitz]

I need to completely hide the menu bar at certain times in my application.

How do I tell Access to show no menu bar?
If I set it to blank or to something that doesn't exist then I get an error
message.

Try downloading my sample application at:

(grab the 3rd one).

http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn/msaccess/DownLoad.htm

You can see how all of the ms-access interface is hidden. Just take a look
at the tools->startup options to see how this is done.

I think in your case, you don't really want to hide "all" of the menus. But,
if you do, then the above example of simply building a basic menu bar, and
showing that also does a good job of hiding all other menus.

Try this:
In the Open Event of a form put this expression...
Application.SetOption "Built-in Toolbars available", False


In the forms Menu Bar property put this value...
=1
