How to remove the restore window icon
In the format window of the main form in my application I have removed the
close button, maximize and minimize buttons. But I can't see how to remove the restore window icon in the upper right corner of the form window. I would like to prevent end users from clicking on this icon. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Bill |

How to remove the restore window icon
Set the ControlBox property to No for the form.

How to remove the restore window icon
Ken,
I had already set this to no, but I'm still getting the restore icon in the upper right corner of the form, where the close, maximize and minimize icons would ordinarily appear. This is a tabbed form which is the main form in my application. It has quite a few tabs and subforms, so I'm not sure whether settings in any of these subforms could be causing this. I would like the user to be able to close the application with the close icon which is on the far right of the application header of the screen, but not be able to reduce the size of the tabbed form since there is no way to re-maximize the tabbed form, which would tend to confuse the user.

How to remove the restore window icon
Ah, sorry. Misunderstood your question. I believe the only way to not have
that restore icon show is to not open the form in maximized view, but in a restored view that is essentially the size of the PC screen (of course, this means that it may not cover the entire screen as resolutions change on PC monitors). You'd need to open the form either in popup mode (size the form in design view while restored to the desired size and position) or else run a "restore" command on the form in the OnLoad event: DoCmd.Restore Note that this "restore" command will also cause the Deactivate and Activate events to occur, so if you have code in them be aware of that. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "Bill Murphy" wrote in message ...

How to remove the restore window icon

button is to use the code found he http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0022.htm I use it all the time and it works great. -- Jeff Conrad Access Junkie Bend, Oregon "Ken Snell" wrote in message ...

How to remove the restore window icon
Well, of course they can see it, but it is not functional if your tuned off
the min/max. However, if you also remove the control box, then you don't see any thing on the bar. so, set the control box property to no, and that should work.. -- Albert D. Kallal (Access MVP) Edmonton, Alberta Canada http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn |
