Access In Full Screen View (no title bar or taskbar visible)???

[glennP]

Hi there,

Is there a way to hide the application title bar (including the min, max and close buttons) as well as the windows taskbar when Access is running? I have seen this done before where the form fills the entire screen - ie no controls or frames are visible.

Does anyone have any suggestions????

Thanks,
Glenn

Hi glennP
Have you had a look at the Tools / Startup options?

 

[glennP]

Yes I have. The options available don't seem to give you control over the application window.

Thanks for your help anyway

Set the form to maximize when loading (Docmd.Maximize)
Set the form properties to
Pop Up = True
Modal = True
Border Style = none
Record Selectors = No
Navigation Buttons = No
Dividing Lines = No

Be sure you have a way of getting back after setting these properties.

I think Glenn wants to hide the Access title bar etc and not just those on forms in the application.

There was something posted on this sometime ago if I recall but I alwasy had problems getting it to work. Glenn try a search of this forum.

Also try
Modal = False
with the above settings.

One problem with pop up and modal form is that the code wont work as expected. Search around for other threads on the subject.

I have this code somewhere, but when I used it I had big problem.
There is the loop hiding all toolbars and menu which has effect to existing databases, another word it has impact on the whole MS Access enviroment.
It took me efforts and time to restore everything back, so be CAREFULL with that posting/code.
