Hidig Access

R

I have developed an Access project (which, for some reason, I can't get into
an MDE - but that's another issue) and would like to be able to have it run
without any Access showing, i.e., the menu bar and the two extra boxes on the
Task Bar. Basically, all I want the user to see are the forms and reports
that I have built.

Any way to do this, short of re-developing the application in VB.net?

When you say access project, do you a ADP proejct?

Anway, if you are talking about a regular mdb, then you can hide all of
ms-access.

You most certainly can, and should hide all of the ms-access interface. The
options to complete hide and keep people out of the ms-access interface can
easily be done using the tools->start-up options. Using those options allows
you to complete hide the ms-access interface (tool bars, database window
etc). Also, using these options means you do not have to bother setting up
security. (or, even write a bunch of code)

Try downloading and running the 3rd example at my following web site that
shows a hidden ms-access interface, and NO CODE is required to do
this....but just some settings in the start-up.

After you try the application, you can exit, and then re-load the
application, but hold down the shift key to by-pass the start-up options. If
want, you can even disable the shift key by pass. I have a sample mdb file
that will let you "set" the shift key bypass on any application you want.

You still need to get the mde thing working..but lets cook one fish at a
time...
