Switch off/turn on login menu

O

orjan hagstrom

Hi,

Is it possible to turn on/switch off the login menu in Access?

I intend to let citizens (trough a PC in the public library)

read an Access database containing pictures (and data)

of paintings, and to make the application more user-friendly

I would like to switch off the login menu.

I must however, be able to turn it on again to enable me to

edit the form etc.

Can anyone tell me if these intentions are possible to

perform?

Best regards

Click to expand...
Create a shortcut to your app in the format

"Full path to MSACCESS.exe" "Full path to your app.mdb" /wrkgroup "Full path
to your WIF.mdw" /user username /pwd password

where "username" is the limited account name and "password" is its password.
Now I haven't tried this for a while but IIRC it will cause the logon prompt
to not appear.

HTH - Keith.
