    Access total UI modification

    Hi,

    I was wondering how you can totally disable/hide/delete the access UI (ribbon, menu...etc). My friend made an access database, when you launch it, only a switchboard appears with absolutely no Access menus, navigation bar, not even the office button...nothing....the screen was all blue with the switchboard in the middle.

    Anybody knows where to start?



    Thank you

    Why don't you start by asking your friend Sorry I had to say that. I am not a 2007 man so I cannot offer you any advice. However they will be people out here that can.

    I believe that it would be more challenging for you to get rid of the Ribbon. After some research, I found out that we can use the ShowToolbar method to hide the ribbon. The following line of code makes the ribbon disappear completely, and allows you to see the application like in Office 2003, without the command bars.
    DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
    That will make the ribbon disappear completely, and allow you to see the application like in Office 2003, without the command bars.

    Regards,

    I believe this method still works for ac2007. Maybe that is what you were looking for.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
