How to make our database system to work like an ATM machine?

[prabha_friend]

Once a user logs into a particular windows account (say:Billing) Nothing has to be shown other than our database system. Like an ATM machine. Possible?

I have been granted permissions to change windows policies and all but don't know how to do it

in the windows startup, add the database shortcut.
in the database startup (autoexec macro) add the main menu form.

Hi Rayman,

Thanks to your reply. My Question is how to keep running only our database in that windows instance? No Media player. No internet explorer. Nothing. Only just our database has to run. You know... Like a billing machine or an ATM..

Even the logging off and shutting down process has to be done through our database system only using dedicated buttons labelling 'shutdown' and 'log off'

use code to hide the access window - http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=217400

use code to hide the windows taskbar

set the form to be popup/modal and maximised with a thin or no border

Not sure of the situation if user has multiple screens

you can also remove all other applications from the PC and use windows settings to automatically open your db on start.

not sure about code to switch off a pc, but found this link

But still the user has a Desktop. She can go there by pressing windows+D or a run command.
The owner of the shop doesn't want to let the billing girl to access any features or file from pc. Just the billing and only the billing software. Not any other. Possible?

Maybe a Linux solution?

Make her log on as a user and set a very restricted user profile that only lets her use the access database.

Or trust her to do her job...

With respect you are asking questions you can easily answer yourself with a small effort. Come back when you have tried something
