Full Screen

[Randy]

Hello again...Just a quick of the wall question...

Is there a way to force the program into full screen mode?

assuming that you set up your database to automatically open a form (such as
a switchboard) when the database is opened, you can put a macro (or a VBA
procedure) on the form's OnLoad event. in a macro, use the Maximize action;
in VBA code, use DoCmd.Maximize.

Hi again Tina...
I already have the Maximize command and is working well. I was actually
wonderiong if there is a way to force into "full screen" mode/view that would
eliminate any/all access to menus and or toolbars? Any ideas?

from the database window, on the menu bar, you can click Tools | Startup,
and uncheck the the menu and toolbar settings. you will still get an
"abbreviated" menu with "abbreviated" File, Window, and Help submenus. i
usually create a custom menu (mnuBlank) that is empty, then open Tools |
Startup, uncheck the menu/toolbar settings, and change the Menu Bar
(default) setting to mnuBlank.

note: any user can bypass those Startup options by holding down the Shift
key while opening the database. so if your aim is to make the db more secure
by getting rid of menus/toolbars, that really won't do the trick. using VBA
code to prevent the bypass, will get you a little further down the
protection road.

To completely eliminate the menubar Put =1 in each form
propery for Menu bar. Then add you custom tool bars.
