Access 2013 : How To Hide Ribbon, File, Quick Access Toolbar and Sign In when Access starts
Is there a way to hide the Ribbon, the File menu, the Quick Access Toolbar and Sign In when Access 2013 starts?
All the old ways (pre 2010) seem to have been disabled.

Thanks! Very frustrating Microsoft restrictions.
It has been 6 years since the Ribbon was released. Slowly, the documentation needed to do stuff with the Ribbon has trickled out and been collated. Gunter has posted good stuff on his site
http://www.accessribbon.de/en/
and slowly listings of all the icons, all the control names and all the events have trickled into the MS knowledge base. It isn't so much that MS has restricted things, as they have made things extremely opaque. The standalone MS Access developer of Access 97-2003 apps has been pretty much left standing at the altar by MS. MS wants you to throw away VBA and standalone apps and embrace SharePoint. Instead of locking down your UI, they want you to lock down the file and the data -- and so they have never provided a lot of detailed, good guidance about the UI in Access.
Shameful, really.
Sigh.
