how do i deploy only a form

[adoba]

I have created a very simple form and table in access. I now want to deploy
only the form to other workers. i.e. i want them to be able to look at the
form and the information in it but not the be able to change the data.
Ideally i would like only the form to open i.e. a very simple interface that
does not include all of the other Access 'bits' like, home, create, external
data - just the form... Is this possible?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Also, last time i tried to post this question, it said error - so appologies
if it come up twice now

No, it's not possible.

As you do not want the users to be able to change the information, send them
the output of a Report instead of a Form. Create the report, save it as a
PDF (if you have Access 2007, you can do so directly; if you have an earlier
version, you'll need a PDF Creator, either Adobe Acrobat, or a third-party
package -- I use an OpenSource "PDF Creator" from
http://www.sourceforge.net). You can attach that to an e-mail, the
recipients can view the information, but they can't change it.
