Hi,

I have an Access DB that I make into a MDE file. I would also like to
eliminate the Access window (toolbars etc). Can't this be done and if so
how. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks,

You can use Access run time, the users wont see Access ToolBars and window.
Also you you don't need to buy Access licence for each users, just for the
developers

Hi, Phil.

One may hide the Access window, or one may remove the toolbars and menu
bars. For hiding the Access window on start up, please see the following Web
page:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0019.htm

To remove the toolbars and menu bars on start up, create a custom menu bar,
then select the Tools -> Startup... menu to open the Startup dialog window.
Select the name of the custom menu bar in the "Menu Bar:" combo box, then
uncheck the "Allow Full Menus" and "Allow Built-In Toolbars" check boxes,
then close the Startup dialog window. Close the database. Open the database
again, then right-click on the menu bar and select "Customize..." from the
pop-up menu to open the Customize dialog window. Select the "Toolbars" tab
and uncheck the name of your custom menu bar. Select the "Close" button to
save your change.

All toolbars and menu bars are gone. To adjust these start up settings in
the future, open the database while pressing the <SHIFT> key and continue
holding the <SHIFT> key until the database is completely open. The built-in
menu bar and toolbar will appear, so select the Tools -> Startup... menu to
change these start up settings.

HTH.

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.
