Before getting pistol whipped, I know this is a well-worn topic but I
don't see the answer...
I know how to hide the Access window, I know how to disable the Access
application's close button, but how do you HIDE the Access close
button.
Also, while I'm at it, what I really want to do is to hide the Access
application's minimize, mazimize and close buttons.
Thanks,
lq
