Application Window

Is there any way to disable the main Access Application Window ability to be
resized? I have the application window automatically sized to a form when the
database is opened, and do not want the users to be able to stretch the
application window.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your best bet is to just hide the application window. From the menu:
Tools->Start Up then uncheck the Display Database Window

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. Unlike many, you actually used the
correct terminology. I don't know if it is possible, or how to do that.

Klatuu,

Thanks for taking the time to respond, maybe somebody out there will know how
and if this can be accomplished?

My suggestion would be to recognize that Access is a MDI interface
application (meaning it has a main "container" window) and live with it.
This is also true of Word, Excel, and many other successful programs that
seem to get along just fine.

Code at the link below describes how to hide the main window, but it is not
a suitable solution for anything but very simple apps.

I assumed that since you can alter the size and location that you may me able
to alter other aspects of the window. So, what you are saying is that you can
just hide the window not disable any other functions like hide the min, max
or close.
