yes, have a sample...read on....
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.
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.
Check out:

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.
Notice how the menu bar changes when you load a different form (again, this
does not require code).
(and, the right click context menu has been designed to mimic the menu
bars). Also, note that the menu bars were originally buttons
on the form...and those also remain in tact (the custom menu bar calls same
vb code behind the buttons)
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 can get this at:
