I have a database that, when opened, I would like it to appear with no Access menubar / toolbars, at all. I don't want it to look like Access at all.
Can I do that? Thanks for the help, anybody?

The simple answer is no. An access database requires the Access application to run. The only option is to build an application in another environment like VB and connect to the database with odbc or something like that.

However, you can remove the default menu and toolbars using the startup options and replace with a custom menu.
Ok, thanks, i heard about the custom toolbar thing, so i'd try it and see how it works
I don't want it to look like Access at all.
To accomplish this you'll have to, in Design View, either size all your forms so that they take up the entire screen, or have one form that fills the screen and acts as a "background " for the other forms. This takes a bit of work, but it will give the "look" of a VB program. If your motive is for your client not to know that the db is an Access app, you have to remember what Mary's already said, that the client PC has to have Access present to run. Even if they already have a version of Access on board, not informing them that the database is Access- based could lead to problems down the road. They could, for instance, upgrade to a newer version of Access and start having compatibilty problems. We're already seeing this with versions 2003 & 2007. From an ethical point of view, if they're paying you to develop a database for them, they're entitled to know exactly what they're buying.

Hello,
the Menubar of my Visual Studio .Net installation is hidden. I only see the
toolbars. In the customize dialog all toolbars are selectable. Only the
menubar entry could not be selected (i hear a "ping" when i want select the
entry).
So i tried to edit the Registry (key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\General). Here you can
Switch on/off the statusbar.
How could I switch on the Menubar?

I have attempted to change a menubar settings so that users can do

This occurred because Citrix users could pull the bar off the top of
the screen, close it and then never be able to find it again, and we
couldn't log in to fix it. We would change the menubar properties in
the next release, but they couldn't take effect as these properties
appear to be stored in the users registry settings.
