    How to hide Access Options button?

    Hello!

    I want to hide the Access Options button, as well as the ribbon and Office button, so that the end-user is left with an interface that looks like an application and have access only to the forms and reports.

    I built a tabled named USysRibbons and entered the following XML code:

    <CustomUI xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/CustomUI"> <ribbon startFromScratch="true"/> </CustomUI>

    I then chose the field name from the Access Options button, closed the database, and when I reopened it, it gives me many error messages. When I click Okay so that error messages disappear, I find that the Access Options button has been gone.

    However, when I click on the small blue arrow up there, it opens a drop-down menu with an option to open the Access Options button.

    How can I disable that option too? I don't want the end user to have access to all these options. I don't want them to appear on the interface.



    Thank you in advance.

    This is the whole code. Got it from support.office
    I know, it seems short. I tried longer ones but the same problem keeps on happening.

    Could you suggest a better working code that disables the option from the drop-down list, too?

    Did you review the links I posted in your other thread? It shows the XML code I use.
