MENU BAR PROBLEM

[bladelock]

I'm having problems with this. I trying to only show my custome menu bar and
only show my menu bar while taking off the default menu bar. I created a
custom Menu Bar called "Custom1" using the Toolbar tab of the Customize
dialog box. It only contains the File and Printing selection. On the form
toolbar property box, I put the "Custom1" name. Also, I put on the form
Onload property box "DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo. I even tried
on the "View" dropdown on the menu bar-->toolbars--> customize--> dialog box
to uncheck the Menu Bar box (that doesn't uncheck) HOW Can I get this Menu
Bar not to display and only show my Custom1 Menu Bar. I've tried everything,
any suggestion, thanks.

Hi.

I trying to only show my custome menu bar and
only show my menu bar while taking off the default menu bar.

Try this:

Press the <SHIFT> key while opening the database and continue holding the
<SHIFT> key until the database is completely open. Select the Tools ->
Startup... menu to open the Startup dialog window. Select "Custom1" on the
"Menu Bar:" combo box. (If "Custom1" doesn't appear in the combo box drop
down list, then you need to change this CommandBar type to Menu Bar in the
toolbar customization dialog window.) Ensure the "Allow Full Menus" check
box is checked. Select the "OK" button to close the Startup dialog window.

Close the database and open it normally. Your custom menu bar should be
visible, while the built-in menu bar is not.

On the form
toolbar property box, I put the "Custom1" name. Also, I put on the form
Onload property box "DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo.

I don't think these steps are necessary, but you'll probably see the same
effect whether the form is open or not, now that the custom menu bar is
properly displayed.

HTH.

The trick is set your "main" menu bar in the tools->startup.

And, as Camaro meinteond, you want to hold down the shift key when you enter
the database to by-pass the staqrtup.

And, another tip (not metnoned) is hide any other menu bars, tools bars etc.
that you do NOT need. So, only the main ms-access menu bar should be
showing. If you exit, and then re-enter, you should ONLY see your new "main"
menu bar.

I have a sample download here that hides all of ms-access, and no code is
needed to do this, but ONLY the startup options.

Grab the 3rd example here
http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/msaccess/DownLoad.htm
(ms-access interface hidden).

You will note how the above hides all of ms-access....
