Is there a way to have the database open such that the Access toolbar and other Access items in the background are hidden? Eg. when you open the database, all you see is the login form and then the Main Menu form after log in? The end user shouldn't really need to see all of the Access developer tools, menus should they?
Reply from Richard Rost:
You still need to have the Access application window open. I saw some code online somewhere a few years back that allowed you to load the database and minimize the App window, but I can't remember where I found it or what it was called. I haven't played with the 2013 Runtime Edition yet (the one I just posted about - I've downloaded it, but I haven't played with it yet) but one of the older versions (2003, I think) allowed you to pretty much disable ALL of those menu items.
