remove the design window ?

[f_disk]

Is there a way to remove the design window from your project ?

I have made a program but, the problem I am having is that when
I run it and say the query results show up I close that window and
then the design window shows up. I need the close button on the
other windows but I need to block out the design window when I
use the program.
I also know about the start box where you can uncheck items and
they are removed. Am I missing something ?

thx

re:

Hi,
users should NEVER directly see the query or table level...you should create an userinterface (forms/reports) so they can do/see whatever they need to.
If you have hidden the database window and disabled the access shortcut keys under tools--startup...the only way to get back to the db window is to hold down the shift key at application startup. You can disable that as well if you think your users are computer literate enough. However, this functionality can be easily reenabled as well...to truely prevent any design changes distribute the application as a mde file. Make sure you keep a copy of the original mdb as the developer.

Good luck
