How do you get rid of this:

[KenHigg]

I would like to get rid of the 'Type a question for help' thing...

I've seen the solution to this here but darn'd if I can find it now -

Get rid of the default menu bar.

Check this out... Hide all Access Toolbars and Menubars

Darn you're good.

That gets rid of ALL menus. What if I have my own, but don't want the Access "Type your question here" thing?

My code sample in that link shows you how to call a tool/menu bar on demand...

'[COLOR=Green]Use the 'ShowToolbar' command if you need to display a tool bar or menu bar...[/COLOR]
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarYes

Ghudson:

For some reason, that didn't work for me.

What did work was:

CommandBars("MyMenuBar").Enabled = True

However, going back to Ken's question, the "Type Your question here" thing is still there

Create your own custom "menu" bar so that it only has the main functions you want and not the type your question option since that is a standard default option with Access 2003.
