Are you referring the the Access application window or your forms?

Are you wanting to hide the title bar?

To hide the Access shell see:

FWIW: The Windows standard is to have a minimize/maximize/close for standard forms (non model or pop-up). I have found it best to use them. IMHO, it is much more user friendly.

Want to hide the form name like Switchboard -- the form name on left top of the form and to leave the application main form open want to hide the minimize/maximize/close bar which is right top corner of the form.

please advise the easy way to do that.

Thanks
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Caption = " "        ' space
End Sub

This will hide the caption.
