Menu on Reports

[IMO]

Hi All,

I have created a Toolbar for my Reports and would like that to be the only options available for the users. I,ve set the Menu Bar properties to '=1' which works fine in my Forms but not here, I'm still left with the Control Box in the top left corner. Can anyone help me and tell me a way of removing this?

Thanks in advance

On the 'Format' tab of your reports properties, set the control box field to no.

Thanks for the reply.
One problem though, In the Reports properties I don't have a 'Control Box' field. Any other ideas?
Thanks

Ah....

I just want to make sure you do mean the little menu the allows the user to 'Move' ,'Restore, 'Size' etc...?

What version of Access are you using as I'm using XP and its possible that the Control Box property isn't available in design view in previous versions of Access.

Robert,
I'm using Access 2000 and what I really would like to do is remove the Access bar at the top of the page and only have on screen my popup menu and the report itself. Ive managed this with all my Forms but have had no luck with the reports. Any other ideas????

It's not mega-important but as all the forms are set as full-screen popups, it looks a little odd when the bar appears in print preview.

Thanks

Hi IMO

Well I've trying to play around with some reports by setting the pop up, border style properties etc but I can't get it to display just the report and no title bar. You say that you achieved this with your forms, can I ask how you did this?

As far as the Control Box menu is concerned I'm sure that in Access 2K there should be the control box property available in design view...but I could be wrong

You can't get Reports to Pop Up over the db window, you can remove their Captions and title bar etc, though it requires a lengthy api function

Robert,

Here's an example db (A2k) of how to use full screen popups, I can't remember where I found the module but it works fine for forms.

Just import the module into your db, change the form type to popup and enter:-

xg_SizePopUpForm Me, 1

in the on open event of your popup form

Let me know how you get on

Cheers

IMO,

Thanks for that, I'll have a look when I get a chance.

Rich,

I guessed that was the case. What I do is to set the startup options and define the application title etc here, and then for captions on forms / reports I'll set them at design time or at run-time using VBA....well that's the theory
