I have removed all tabs from the ribbon in Access 2008 except the HOME one. I want to remove the ribbon completely (including HOME) so the end user can only use the Quick Access Toolbar (which I edited to include Printpreview & 2 other comamnds the end users need). I have cmd buttons etc. on forms for the end user. (the less the end users have the better :)

Any help? I am more familar with previous version of Access.

Also...just FYI - I am learning MS SQL Server 2005, to place tables & queries in & then just have Access as frontend. Any thoughts? p.s. The database has approx. 60 tables - rather large.
 
Access 2008? In Office 2007 you can "revert to classic view", which gets rid of the ribbon, but still gives access to its functionality. If your worried about the end users, just distribute the app as a .mde.
