Making an Access 2007 app more professional looking.

[cr113]

I'm trying to figure out the best way to deploy and make my Access
2007 application more professional looking. The database is readonly
so I'm thinking I can save it as a .accde file and give that to the
user. I'd like to be able to disable and hide the ribbon and all menu
commands. I really only want to display the forms that I have created
if possible. Also any tips on how you display your forms would be
appreciated. Do you always have them maximized to fill the screen,
etc?

I don't want to split the database or use Access runtime.

Just execute a

DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo

If you execute the above, then the ribbon, office button, everything will be
hidden...

However, making something look more "cool", that really just a matter of
your taste, but I recent thread of mine at UA has some good suggestions
here:

At the end of the day, really, it really a blank canvas, and whatever kind
of look and feel you want is very much of your own doing and choice.

Be creative!
