Hide MS Access all together

I'm creating a customer request system and don't want the users to see
anything but the the form I have already set to open on start. I already have
everything unchecked in the Tools>startup area. I still want to get ride of
the menu bar and the very top header with the MS Access logo on the left hand
side.

It's cumbersome, but if you really want to do this, see this link:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0019.htm
API: Manipulate Access Window

The article doesn't mention it, but in recent versions of the Windows
operating system, any form you want to display with the Access window
hidden must be both PopUp and Modal.

Note, if the Title Bar is a problem, an alternative
is to replace it with your own title bar:

Tools, Startup, Application Title.
