Menus?

[srideout2525]

I've asked a similar question b4. Wondering once I make an MDE and split it ( or b4 or make the MDE and split it), is there a way to not allow user to use the menu bar? I know I can get rid of all the tool bars, but can you diable the menu? I only want the users to use the button I've made.

Thx

go to Tool > Startup and disable them. There is also a way to prevent the override Shift startup. If you need theat much protection

Create a new Menu Bar...

Yes, this can be accomplished.

1. Create a new Menu and name something Specific to the Database (i.e. "My Menu). There is no need to add any buttons to the menu bar since you will be hidding it.

2. Under Tools|Startup change the setting of "Menu Bar" to be your newly created menu bar.

3. Add the following code to some form that loads initially when the database loads:

' Hides the Menu Bar
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo
' Hides the My Menubar
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "My Menu", acToolbarNo

That should take care if it.

Tyically, I run some code when the database closes that goes ahead and shows the Standard Menu Bar, but I do not think that it is necessary.

Enjoy.
