Getting Rid of the Title Bar and Close button

[honeyrun]

Is there any way that I can have the title bar and min/max/close buttons not appear? I want to force users to exit the database buy backing out instead of using the close button to close Access.

yes. got the design view of the form, then form properties. there are several features you can turn off or on. setting the control box to NO will hide the min, max, and close buttons.

drctx,

I have been able to do that, but I need to have the "Microsoft Access:" title bar and the application min/max/close buttons not appear when an Access database is opened.

Thanks in advance.

i understand now, ms access close buttons not the forms.

what do you mean by "backing out instead of using the close button to close Access"?

You can use the Unload event of all your forms...just put "cancel = true" in there and they won't be able to get out...obviously you'll have to take that a step further and make it check a variable to see if it's allowed to close (which you would set to "yes" when they click the exit button that you made). Hope that helps...

Will hide the entire Access window, leaving only your forms visible. Read the web site for details. This is not perfect, and I don't particularly like it, but it works for what you need.
