How to remove system menu and title bar
In an application I have a main form that is tabbed. The system menu does
not appear, and this is what I would like. But when I open a report in preview mode from within the application the system menu does appear . What visual basic code is needed to suppress the system menu in report preview? Also, when in the tabbed form the application title bar does appear, and does not contain a minimize, maximize or close button. Again this is what I prefer. However, the title bar in report preview does contain each of these buttons. What code is needed to hide or remove them? Bill |

Bill Your problems stem from the fact that reports are neither popup nor modal. The menu can be removed, however. Put the appropriate code in the open and close events of the report: Application.CommandBars("MainMenu").Visible = False |

How to remove system menu and title bar
I tried this code but got a runtime error 5, "Invalid procedure call or
argument". I tried "Menu Bar" as the name instead of "MainMenu" and got a different error "Method visible of 'commandbar' failed". Any further suggestions on this?

Usually it is better to replace the default menu with your own custom menu. |

How to remove system menu and title bar
I used the -1 in my report and that worked well. It just left a report icon
on the menu line, and the user can only use this to minimize, maximize or close the report. My other question below relates to the blue title bar at top of screen when in report preview. Currently if the user clicks on the X close button in the upper right it attempts to close the application. This does not work well since in this process it can't find my frmMain, and displays an error message. Is there a way to hide the close button, or to give it enough information to close down the application gracefully? Bill "OldPro" wrote in message oups.com...

How to remove system menu and title bar
Did you try to code the [On Close] event (report properties) to either open
your main screen or quit application? I have a similar problem to Bill's... Evertyhing work but when I run a simulation as what a user is supposed to do. When a form opens, the name of the form shown in the Blue title bar. Is there a way to hide the blue title bar? I have hidden the command and toolbars already.

How to remove system menu and title bar
I believe the close button (X) on the title bar that is visible when in
report review mode must relate to the entire application. If the user clicks this it must be executing a quit command. I'd like to hide this and only allow the user to close the application using a command button in my main form. Bill "Ricoy-Chicago" wrote in message ...
