    Disable MSAccess Menu items

    The following is a simple technique which disables users from using the MSAccess menu items.

    It basically involves opening a 'background' type form, maximizing it, and then opening a popup/modal type of form.



    Notice in the example that you cannot click on any of the MSAccess menu items. You can thus control the flow of how user's open forms and what they can/cannot click on by designing popup/modal type forms.

    I assume this came out of the discussion we had earlier?

    You can actually post the working code here for pre-07 versions instead of the workaround that you're demonstrating. The actual code is much easier to implement than having to manage another object.

    It's a good idea to add the code in the post when it's not too long and only one block, but a working project could be very helpful to new Access users who don't know where/how to use the code. I would suggest both if it's not too troublesome.

    I used codeguru and codeproject a lot, their sample project pages usually have very detailed instructions.

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