Remove DB window icon from toolbar

I'm building a budgeting tool that tracks current and future year budgets for
accounting cost centers and GL accounts. I'm working with the Startup
Options in Tools, Startup, and find a powerful set of choices for how to
"lock up" the application so people can't get to the database window in the
live app. I'm even setting the AllowBypassKey property to False so people
can't hold down the shift key to bypass.

My question revolves around the db window icon in two toolbars: one that
shows for forms and the other that shows when a user is in Print Preview of a
report. I removed the two icons from my development copy (I simply clicked
Add or Remove buttons on the right hand side of the toolbar and removed the
db window from each). But when I roll out the app, a test user can still see
the db window icon.

I notice there's a Toolbar property for each form that may assist with a
solution, but this is where my knowledge stops. How can I remove the db
window icon from the form view and report print preview toolbars?

I'm replying to my own message here, not sure if the question wasn't clear or
perhaps I should have dug a little further myself, 'cuz I was able to solve
the problem. In the startup options I de-selected the Allow Built-In
Toolbars checkbox, then built a custom toolbar using Tools, Customize. I
then added that toolbar to each report so that the user can only see the
icons I want - no database window icon thank you very much!

Now the app is "locked" up better, meaning people can't get to the db window.
Cool stuff!

Thanks guys!
