running app -> make the Access menus hidden

[P.Schuman]

We have an application that runs Access 2007.
Is there a way to "hide" all the normal Access menus, ribbons, etc,
so only the application screens are displayed ??

I tried just renaming the ACCDB -> ACCDR and running with the "runtime",
but got some weird crash when it ran on a system with the real Access 2007.

Everyone has Access 2007,
I just want to have less clutter on the screen for them
when running the application.

Check out this link: http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0019.htm

It worked in earlier versions of Access, but I don't know whether it has
been tested with 2007.

This API call hides the Access window. The down side is that all of your
forms must be configured as popup and modal, which can cause some issues.
Additionally, if you have an error popup, you could be screwed, so you need
to have good error handling, which includes setting the Accesswindow to it's
normal mode.

Hey, you could use the following to turn off some of the stuff you want:

For dintCount = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(dintCount).Enabled = False
Next dintCount
