Control whether some or all of the built-in menus are displayed

If the Microsoft Access database or Microsoft Access project you're creating provides the user access to the built-in menus, you can display only a predefined subset of the menus. That way, you can hide menus, such as View and Insert, that would enable a user to access the Design view of objects in your Access database or Access project and to change their design.

1. On the Tools menu, click Startup.
   
   
2. Clear or select the Allow Full Menus check box.

Notes

• Changes to these settings in the Startup dialog box won't take effect until the next time the Access database or Access project is opened.
