Hi Tom,

Fred answered your question about compiling, I'll answer
the one about removing the File, Edit, etc. options from
the menu bar.

You don't want to mess with the built-in Access menu
bars/toolbars. This will affect all databases. What you
want to do is create your own menu bars/toolbars with all
the functions you would like to see. You can then leave
out any options you do not wish to see. Creating menu bars
and toolbars is actually quite fun once you get the hang
of it. It also adds a nice "polished" look to your
application.

To study up on this topic I would suggest the following
great article. It is written for Access 97, but the same
basic concepts apply to later versions as well.

(Watch out for line wrapping, that link should all be on
one line in your browser)

Good luck,
