Menu Bar Security...

[breaker11]

Is there a way to limit the options available to users of a database, ie delete record, within the pull down menus. As it stands, users are able to go to Edit, then delete the entire record. Any help is greatly appreciated.

goto tools, and then startup... and disable the menu bars... and then make it into an mde...

if you don't make it into an mde, the users can just undo what you did...

Junior,
I've already disabled the menu bars on the login screen, but once the users enter the database and pass the login screen, they are able to use the menu bars. Is there a way to customize or disable the menu bars on other forms? Thanks.

how did you disable them at the login screen?? is there vba that makes them visable in you other forms??

There is no VBA for the menu bars, the main thing I want to do is to somehow get rid of "delete record" from all Edit menu bars within the database. I was thinking that there was a somewhat straight forward way of doing this... maybe I'm confusing myself. Do you know of a way to get rid of just the "delete record" option under the Edit bar?

well, if you have multiple users, and user level security setup, then you can disable their access to delete any thing... other wise, i just know how to get rid of the menu's all together...

I know I probably am rehashing this a bit, but how would you go about getting rid of all menus within the database besides going to tools => startup?

There is code to do it, but i'm not sure on that... the only way i am able to do it is by going through the tools menu... Junior1544@yahoo.com
