Access Runtime issues

Question

I opened my Access program using Runtime: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Client Billing System\runtime test\CBS.accdr" /runtime

Issue 1: Top left corner of window is "File" and to the right is "Tell me what you want to do". "Tell me what you want to do" displaying is an issue. Should this not be displaying?

Issue 2: Bottom of the window is the Record section, and to the right is a "Filter" button. The Filter displaying is an issue. Should this not be displaying? When I clicked the Filter button it preformed the last filter that was applied.

I was not expecting either of these features to be available with Runtime.

Answer 1

First, you can use either:

"C:\Client Billing System\runtime test\CBS.accdr" or
"C:\Client Billing System\runtime test\CBS.accdb" /runtime

You don't need both.

1. To get rid of the to-do message:
   Deleting 'Tell me what you want to do' from the Access-ribbon
2. Yes. This is intended and by design. The runtime doesn't mean that the user "can't do anything".
