logon question

[jn]

i am developing in application for a client using access 97. the application must be secure, as it will be on a network.
i set up a database password using the standard access security section.

when one signs on, a dialog box appears asking for the password. in the background is a screen that has a toolbar of
file, edit, view, insert, tools, window, help. if someone selects cancel on the dialog box, this toolbar is
available to them. you can open other databases or this one by going to file.

how do i either get rid of this screen or deactivate the toolbar?

thanks

You shouldn't be trying to control what the user can do with Access, only what
they can do with *your* files. Are you saying that you only want users to be
able to use Access for your applications and nothing else? In that case you
should have installed the Runtime on their PCs instead of the full licensed
version. What you're attempting is akin to saying you want to control Word or
Excel on their PCs so that they can only be used for files you give them and
nothing else.

no i am not trying to control any of that

i am using the standard security data base password assignment in access
this generates a dialog box.
i can not believe that others have not encountered this.

it looks as though i need my own logon screen that is part of autoexec. when app is opened, the user
keys the correct password and then to the main menu of the app
