[AccessD] Toolbar/Menubar Locking

Hi everyone!

I'm not sure how to do this, or if it can even be done.  Currently using
Access 97 on WinXP.

The application is a secured (through access workgroup/users) database
front end.  At this point, I have no customized toolbars or menus, just
using the standard ones.  The client has found that some of the users have
messed with the toolbars (dragged them off to who knows where...) and
afterwards can't get to them when they really do need them.

I eventually plan to have customized toolbars and menubars for them, but
this question will apply to them as well, even though they're not ready
yet.

Is there a way to lock the menubar and toolbar in place using vb code or
some other way of automatically locking them?  I know it can be done in
Access on each workstation, but these pc's are all over the place and I
don't want to tell their MIS that he has to go around to each computer and
lock the toolbars in place.  That would gain me MORE than just a dirty
look.  Explicit hand signals might be involved....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA!
