How to disable Office Button - 2007

[PercyN]

Hi,
I have just started using access 2007 and recently learnt how to customize the ribbon using XML. What I have not figured out yet is how to disable the Office Button so that users cannot have access to any of the items on that menu.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip PHV,

I actually have been to this site before and though it has some very rich content on how to customize the ribbon it does not say how to diable the office button itself. I have tried to do it using the same XML code that customizes the ribbon but it doesn't work

You can't disable the Office Button. You need to disable the buttons.
