I have a database set up with Full Data Users and then Admins. I would like
to be able to hide a toolbar or buttons on a toolbar for users in the Full
Data group, but then show all for Admins. Then I would like to have the
Database window appear upon startup for Admins (along with the switchboard)
and have only the switchboard appear for Full Data Users. Is there a way to
do this without coding? I know NOTHING about coding or macros in Access and I
was hoping to not have to figure it out right now. Thanks!

Do your Full Data Users know about the "bypass" key? If they don't then
just set the startup options to hide what you don't want them to see (Tools
.... Startup). You can get in as normal by using the "bypass" key, that is,
hold down the shift key when you open the app.

If they do know about the "bypass" key then some coding will be required.

Awesome.....I'm a new Access user and I didn't know about the "bypass" key. I
doubt the few users I have would know about the bypass key. Thanks that
worked perfectly!!!!!!
