main menu will not go away from database

[Gary]

I can't get rid of the main database menu, despite tweaking options in
'startup'.

for both menu options i have deleted the options and left them blank.

i still get the menu with File/Edit/Insert/Records/Window/Help

whenever i run my database. how do i get rid of it?

thanks,

Gary.

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.

Check out:

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.

I have had a look at your demo database and that's exactly what i want
-

my problem at the moment is i dont know how to add a menu to a custom
menu bar. I can see individual controls - but don't know how to add a
new menu heading, e.g. file, which i can drop other commands into.

thanks

Ok, when you are in customize mode, for each new "dropdown" you want, you
need to add a new menu.

So, choose the "commands" tab (when in customize mode).

Now, in the "categories" list, (the left side list), scroll all the way down
to "new menu"
click on "new menu". Now, on the right side, you get "new menu".

It is this "new menu" that you drag to your menu bar.

Now, to start adding commands to this, you scroll all the way back to the
top on the left side, and highlight "file"
Now, on the right side, you should see "custom", you can drag a "custom" to
the new menu you just made.

If you are moving existing button(s) from the form to remove clutter, then
you simply need to make the function in the form PUBLIC (

Public Function MyDelete()

Now, in the custom menu, right click, properties, and in the "on action",
simply put the name of the function you want

=MyDelete()

This approach allows you to run, and have custom code in the form....
