Opening app to switchboard, can't remove ribbon.

[bratneedshelppls]

Hi there,



I have my access database opening to a switchboard, I've play with all the options and the only thing I can't seem to be able to remove is the ribbon. Is there a way to have only my switchboard load please?



Thank you for your help.

AFAIK, the only way to hide the ribbon in later Access versions is to either replace it with a blank one that you create, or on startup, run this command
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo

One way to do that is to have an AutoExec macro that calls a public function in a standard module. I use a function named Startup() and put it in a module named mdlStartup where additional startup procedures might be located.

I have an example app that demonstrates how to hide the ribbon and, if you wish to do so, the taskbar and application interface as well.
See Manage the Application Interface

In fact you can show/hide the ribbon at any time, not just at startup.
Note that hiding the ribbon also hides the QAT (quick access toolbar)
