MS Access Forum / Forms / April 2007Making a form open full page
quick question: How can I make a form open up full screen without menubar or toolbar on startup. I want The user to only see the form but still allow me to edit the form if needed and database if needed but not allow them to access it. Sorry for the dumb question but i am a supernoob with access. Thanks in advance for any help:) > quick question: How can I make a form open up full screen without menubar or > toolbar on startup.

In the Display Form/Page dialog box select the form. Uncheck the Display Application Window check box. If you ever need get into the application, simply hold down the shift key when you open it, or press F11 while it is open.  SignatureFred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail Hello! Is there a way to make it 'open' and 'cover' (or hide) the Access's menu bar? SignatureThanks!

You can hide the Menu Bar with code like: DoCmd.ShowToolBar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo SignatureHTH Van T.

I just tried that for my startup form and it doesn't seem to work. I put it in the 'On Open' event of the form. I can get it to 'hide' the items on the menu bar by using the '=1' for the 'menu bar' property in the 'startup' form... SignatureThanks! Soddy > You can hide the Menu Bar with code like: > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > >> If you ever need get into the application, simply hold down the shift > >> key when you open it, or press F11 while it is open. Hello! I just tried using that in my 'startup' form in the 'on open' event along with a docmd.maximize command and it doesn't seem to work - the menu bar still shows. I can 'hide' the menu bar items by using the '=1' in the 'menu bar' property of the startup form. But if possible, I would like to hide/remove the menu bar and then return it when the startup form is closed (on close event). SignatureThanks! Soddy > You can hide the Menu Bar with code like: > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > >> If you ever need get into the application, simply hold down the shift > >> key when you open it, or press F11 while it is open. Hello! Say, I ran across this in the Access 2003 help on 'customizing toolbars, etc...': You can customize menus and toolbars yourself; you can add and remove buttons and menus on toolbars, create your own custom toolbars, hide or display toolbars, and move toolbars. You can customize the menu bar the same way you customize any built-in toolbar (built-in toolbar: A toolbar that is part of Access when it's installed on your computer. In contrast, a custom toolbar is one that you create for your own application.)— for example, you can quickly add and remove buttons and menus on the menu bar— but you can't hide the menu bar. Thoughts...?? SignatureThanks!

Rather than trying to have NO menu bar just create your own and put nothing on it that you don't want users to have access to and then use startup properties to make that menu bar the main menu bar for the application. The application main menu is where the control buttons for maximized objects are placed so it is not logical to have no menu bar at all. SignatureRick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com Thanks for the info and makes sense... However, I have a slight problem now...! In screwing around with the 'menu bar', I got involved in 'customizing' it (i.e., I dragged a couple of menu bar items off - like the 'File', etc...). Now it stays that way even when I create a new DB in Access. How can (if I can) get the 'original' menubar back?? SignatureThanks! Soddy > > Hello! > > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > main menu is where the control buttons for maximized objects are placed so it is > not logical to have no menu bar at all. Hello! I think I figured out how to fix the problem... I just went into the 'customize menu' and selected the 'menu bar' and the 'reset' button which did the trick. So, thanks alot!! SignatureThanks!

Hello! Say, is there a way to eliminate the 'extra' wording in the top 'title bar' after you enter the 'application' title in the 'startup' menu?? SignatureThanks!

What "extra wording" would that be? SignatureRick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com I think Soddy means the form title when maximized. When a form is maximized it shows: apllication name - form name > > Hello! > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > What "extra wording" would that be? I have a similar problem. Where do I place the code that you show: DoCmd.ShowToolBar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo ? I have been able to hide the Menu Bar on the Switchboard form by adding =1 to the MenuBar in the form's properties. However, I have a number of datasheets that respond to buttons on the Switchboard. For each datasheet which is developed from queries, the "Menu Bar" remains and I can't seem to get rid of it - again so a recipient can't change any information on the datasheets. Thanks.
