Toolbar buttons into forms

[Eric]

I am wanting to put some of the toolbar buttons (find, Undo,etc.) into the
form. Essentially it would be a customized toolbar, but I want them in the
actual form and not in the toolbar.
I don't want the whole toolbar because this is too much for some people to
deal with.
Dothey need to be command buttons and what code needs to be used?
I would appreciate any help with this.Thanks, Eric

All Mac's, and even MS office for the LAST TEN YEARS has had a menu bar at
the top of the screen, and then child forms.

Since every windows user on the planet has experienced this interface, then
I don't think they will be crying if you can' have the menu bar on the form.

So, since ms-access is part of office, and the main programs (word, excel,
PowerPoint etc) don't have menu bars on the child forms..but ONLY on the top
part of the application, it should be no big deal to your users.

You most certainly can, and should hide all of the ms-access interface. The
options to complete hide and keep people out of the ms-access interface can
easily be done using the tools->start-up options. Using those options allows
you to complete hide the ms-access interface (tool bars, database window
etc). Also, using these options means you
do not have to bother setting up security.

Try downloading and running the 3rd example at my following web site that
shows a hidden ms-access interface, and NO CODE is required to do
this....but just some settings in the start-up.

Note how the custom menu bars on the top "change" when you use a different
form.

After you try the application, you can exit, and then re-load the
application, but hold down the shift key to by-pass the start-up options. If
want, you can even disable the shift key by pass. I have a sample mdb file
that will let you "set" the shift key bypass on any application you want.

Albert,
Thank you. That should work out better than what I was thinking. Now I
just have multiple menu bars showing up for the different forms, instead of
just the custom menu bar that I created.
