maybe this help you.

On the Tools menu, click Startup.
Do one or more of the following:
To set a global menu bar, in the Menu Bar box, click the name of a custom
menu bar from the current Access database or Access project, or click

(default) to display the built-in menu bar.

To set a global shortcut menu bar, in the Shortcut Menu Bar box, click the
name of a custom shortcut menu from the current Access database or Access
project, or click (default) to use the built-in shortcut menus.

To prevent users from switching to the built-in menu bar from the custom
menu bar by pressing CTRL+F11, clear the Use Access Special Keys check box.

You most certainly can, and should hide all of the ms-access interface. The
options to complete hide and keep people out of the ms-access interface can
easily be done using the tools->start-up options. Using those options allows
you to complete hide the ms-access interface (tool bars, database window
etc). Also, using these options means you
do not have to bother setting up security.

Try downloading and running the 3rd example at my following web site that
shows a hidden ms-access interface, and NO CODE is required to do
this....but just some settings in the start-up.

After you try the application, you can exit, and then re-load the
application, but hold down the shift key to by-pass the start-up options. If
want, you can even disable the shift key by pass. I have a sample mdb file
that will let you "set" the shift key bypass on any application you want.

Note that the above sample has a custom menu, and it was built using the
"customze" option

tools->customize
