MS Access Forum / Forms / February 2008Programmatic removal of Properties Window
When my application starts, the Properties window [appears/not appears] when the first form displays depending on whether it was visible when I last saved the form. How can programmatically I hide the Properties Window when the application starts, if it is currently visible?

(it's the bottom one on the form's "Other" tab. If you open the form in design view, you can make changes to any of the properties of any of the controls. This Allow Design Changes property applies only to opening the form in Form view. I always set it to "design view only" - users should generally not have the option of changing any and all properties of any and all controls, and the properties window just gets in the way. John W.

It just hides the properties menu when in normal mode. You should never have the properties menu available in normal mode, and what reason was used by the developers to allow it to be visible in normal mode is beyond reason.
