Hide database windows - another approach

[seaport]

I read the FAQ Hide The Access Window at

http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=2562.

It is great!

However, I ran into an Access database that hides all its menus, icons, as well as the database window (Not the Access windows) very well and I just could not figure out how it was done.

It looked like this. When I started the database, the Access Window - the Grey Box - appears with a startup form. The menu bar was at the top of the grey box (as usual), with only File menu. If I clicked "File", the dropdown menu contains only "Exit" button. So I could not click the file name, which is supposed to be in the file menu, to open the database window. If I right-clicked the menu bar, I got nothing. Usually I get a popup menu, which contains a "Customize" button opening the door for me to all menus and icons in Access.

This way, a user cannot do anything more than what the customized forms provide. I think the author of the database must have manipulated the commandbars object. But, as I said, how?

Could someone help me on this?

Thanks in advance.

It might be obvious, but just FYI, the access database I played was a mde file so I could not see any vb code.
