How to Display NO Title Bar

Is it possible to remove both the Access and a form's title bar, when both
are maximized?

If so, can anyone point me to an example or explanation?

Thanks,

If you turn off all the items around the titlebar (no caption, min,max,
close, and the Control Box) you can set the border to None. Make sure that
you have a button to close the form.

Thanks Arvin, but I also want to remove the Access application title bar, so
that there is nothing at the top of the screen.

Hi AG,
I recommend that you first execute "DoCmd.Maxmize" in your Form OnLoad
event and then try setting your Access Form's properties "Pop Up" and
"Modal" to Yes.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other
questions or concerns.

You can, as Charles suggests, set the popup property to yes and your
maximized form will cover the Access screen. Setting the modal property to
yes will then require setting all the rest of your forms to modal, and they
will need to be closed, or at least the clutter dealt with, as you are done
with their current action.

You cannot hide Access's title bar (at least easily) but you can disguise it
very easily in versions 2003 and earlier. Simply supply a new icon and app
title in the database's Startup properties. You can change the background
and even supply an image for the background with:

You can also hide the entire Access interface, by minimizing it:

Thanks Arvin,

The second link looks promising.
The idea is to completely fill the screen. The app is for display purposes
and consists of only two forms. The main display form that constantly polls
a back end to display current data and a modal pop-up form for configuration
settings (and exit button) only.

No, you could not hide Access titile bar. There is no way in Access to do
it. The method that I showed to you can have your Access form window
displayed with full screen.

Hi AG,
I did not expect that you want to use Win32 API since for Win32 API
questions it is recommended to post them at our windows SDK communities for
the best support.

Anyway if you decided to use Win32 API, indeed you can have the window
display with NO title bar.

I write the following sample for your reference:
1. Create a module and input the following Win32 APIs
Public Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As
Long) As Long

Public Declare Function apiMoveWindow Lib "user32" Alias "MoveWindow"
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, _
ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal nHeight As Long, ByVal bRepaint As Long) As
Long


2. In your form_load event, input the following code
===================================
Dim nHeight, nSX, nSY As Long

Dim nRet As Long
Dim hWnd As Long

hWnd = Forms("Form1").hWnd

nHeight = Module4.GetSystemMetrics(31)
nSX = Module4.GetSystemMetrics(0)
nSY = Module4.GetSystemMetrics(1)

nRet = Module4.apiMoveWindow(hWnd, 0, 0 - CInt(1.5 * nHeight), nSX, nSY +
nHeight, True)
======================================

Please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions or
concerns. Have a nice day!

Thanks Charles,

Since I did not know how to do it, or even if it was possible, how would I
know whether or not to use WIN32 API?
If I would post to an SDK group and ask an Access specific question (which
this is), someone would tell me to post in an Access group.
I think you are splitting hairs.
