Turn off default menu bar

Is there a way to turn off the defult menu bar? I do not want the user
to see the File, Edit, View, etc. menu.

How do you turn it off?

Michael,
Create a menubar of your own with only what you want the user to see. Then
have Access use that menubar when it starts.

I have tried creating a menu bar and telling access to use it, but it
errors when I start. I basically want a menu with an option to EXIT the
program thats all.

I will try the Menu Bar: =0 and see if that works.

Ok I tried the Menu Bar = 0 and it gave me a macro error.
I added a menu bar called BldBnk and then added EXIT to it.
I tried to set the menu bar to BldBnk but it says it is the wrong type.
I dont care if any menu bars are showing, in fact that is what I want. I
have a built in menu through forms.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

I haven't used MGFoster's method, but I do use what allan suggested all
the time.

When you build your menu bar, in the menu customization "Customize"
dialog, under the toolbars tab, select the menu you've created and click
on the properties button. A tool bar properties dialog will appear. In
the Type drop down, there are three choices: menu bar (what you want),
Tool bar (what new menu default to and what your BldBnk is, most likely)
and popup (these provide short cut menus, ie, right clicky things).

Make sure the type is set to menu bar (and I always, below that, tick
the "show on tool bars menu", just to help me with the way i develop and
keep track of things).

Then, you may do one or combination of things. 1) in your mdb
tools->startup window, replace the default menu bar with tBldBnk - it
will be available from the drop down, or 2) in the Other tab of the form
proerties window, enter the name of the menu bar in the menu bar
property - you can use this property to have different menus appear when
different forms have the focus.

The above will work.

Using the following code I am able to open a new window when a user right clicks an object in my document. if (window.event.button == 2) { Win1 = window.open("","","height=200,width=200"); Win1.document.write('Right click!'); } The problem is that the default menu that normally appears is still appearing. How do I suppress the right-click menu?

I have a sized form with a custom menu bar. Using a command button on this form, I'm opening a report which has a different custom menu bar. When I close the report, the transition of the menu bar back to that of the underlying form is not "clean". For a split second both menu bars appear together, one on top of the other. This has the effect of pushing the form down the screen the width of one menu bar. This is causing me problems because...

My default menu in Access 2003 is completely missing. I've tried reset the toolbars and programatically enumerating all the toolbars/menus in order to revive it. I've also tried reinstalling Access on the PC and just cannot get the default menu to return. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks, James

Hi, I am trying to create two custom menu bars for my application, one for read-only users (without delete record), and one for update-access users (with delete record).

When I create an Edit menu on the custom menu bar, and then modify it, it seems to also be changing the Edit menu on the other custom menu,
