    Newbie needs help

    How do you open a data base so it doesn't show a task bar or navigation pane (open or closed)? I would like to see only the form.

    Thanks. That was probably a dumb question. What I really want is for the data base to open so that the user interface or the form is the only thing showing. I don't want to see the navigation pane or task pane, etc. Is there a read only like view?

    Start by going to
    FILES/OPTIONS/CURRENT DATABASE

    Look for NAVIGATION
    Uncheck DISPLAY NAVIGATION PANE

    Click OK. Close the dB and reopen it.
