I want to write some VBA script so that when I start my access application the main window is blank. This is the list of things I need to be removed or hidden:

  • The entire ribbon
  • The status bar
  • The navigation pane
  • The window tabs

In addition, I want to disable the popup menu when right clicking.
I also want to disable SHIFT bypass key startup.

I basically want it to look like an application created with VB or C#.
Only if I login as admin will the disabled options be bypassed.

    To hide ribbon, qat, just use:

    DoCmd.ShowToolbar “Ribbon”, acToolbarNo

    So, with the options setup correct and ONE line of code, you only see your form.

    Here is an resulting screen shot of using the above one line of code and options to turn off tabs (you want tabbed windows, but tabs turned off). Note how you see the windows desktop. this was all done with one line of code as per above:
