Removing Program Menus and Toolbars..

[marcfl]

I know this is possible but how? I read the FAQs but couldnt find anything on this subject.

Do you mean while your database is open, click Tools - Startup and uncheck everything. Be sure to specify a form to open to. Close it, close your database then reopen. Is that what you want?

I dont want any of the users in the TranscriptionUsers Group to be able to access them, but the admins need to be able to access the program menus and see the toolbars, so we can modify objects, etc..

That didn't answer my question. Will the Startup options work for you? To bypass Startup, before you open the database, hold down the Shift key.

marcfl & fmeily,

I think problem here is terminology and implementation.

M,

When developing you want to see everything right?

When deploying to users you just want them to see the starting screen right?

M,

If you answered yes to both then what F told you about:

1. Going to the "menu bar" (top of your Access screen),
2. Finding "Tools", then "Startup" is correct,
3. When dialog opens
a. select the starting screen for "Display Form/Page:"
b. uncheck all the check boxes,
(so nothing else displays on startup)

You find if you are actively programming on a project that you need to copy the project or .mdb file and then do this on the copy, which is what you install for the users.

Both hold-down of "SPACE" key or "F11" key work to get you into the backend on an app with disabled startup, but that is why you don't want to do that in your program copy or you'll drive yourself nuts.

Also if live data is going on, read up on and implement a "Replication" or "Sychronization" strategy so you can add a tool to your programming version backend that let's you sync with the live data, before rolling out the new version with enhancements.
