Creating "standard" GUI for Access applications "Xavier" <xminet[ at ]remove-this.hotmail.com> 28.07.2006 13:28:23 Hello, I have written an Access application. I basically have my data stored in a mdb file and the UI and VBA code in another mdb file. The UI I am currently using is a switchbox that launches some forms. I would like to rewrite the UI part and have it look like other "standard" Windows applications (Word, Excel,...): a menu bar with options like "File", "Edit", "Insert", and some custom options. I can't find any article explaining how to get rid of the "Access shell" that surrounds my swithboard. Any pointer would be appreciated. Thanks, Xavier

RE: Creating "standard" GUI for Access applications Sprinks 28.07.2006 13:44:02 Xavier, This is done by creating a standard menu bar using Tools, Customize, and then assigning the menu bar to the form's MenuBar property. Hope that helps. Sprinks "Xavier" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hello, > > I have written an Access application. I basically have my data stored in a > mdb file and the UI and VBA code in another mdb file.
