Move the menus to a form. (well, create a form to perform the menu functions). Then hide the Access window. You can set an AutoKeys macro to unhide access, if an Admin account is logged in. Only real issue with hiding the Access window, is that reports won't display on the desktop, only forms, so if you need to preview a report, you have to unhide Access, and then hide it when the report closes again.

Hi Everyone! I'm still dinking around with menus and trying to keep prying eyes and mouse clicks out of the menubars. Thanks to Doris and others I've gotten the programming to get the right toolbar or menubar to show at the right time. The commandbar(s) command was the trick. Although the changeproperty would have been nice except that it only took effect on the NEXT opening of the app, so it was fairly useless programmatically. I'm looking for some way to disable the customize function or to disable the right mouse click on the Menubars/Toolbars. I don't want them selecting alternate toolbars or menubars, or customizing anything. I can disable the right mouse button on the form, but that has no effect on the menubars at the top. I need to be able to do this programmatically as well. If the users login, I don't want them having access to any of the menus except what I program to them, however, if I login, I need everything turned back on. Suggestions? Comments? Am I full of it trying to do this? Is there an easier way? This is a secure database, but that shouldn't change what I'm trying to do. It's currently written in Access97. Thanks in advance!
