MS Access 2007: Remove minimize, maximize, and close buttons from a form

This MSAccess tutorial explains how to remove the minimize, maximize, and close buttons from a form in Access 2007 (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).

Question: In Microsoft Access 2007, is there any way of getting rid of all of the minimize, maximize and close buttons (that appear in the top right corner) from a form?

Answer: By default, your Access form will display minimize, maximize, and close buttons in the top right corner of the form. See picture below:

To remove the minimize, maximize, and close buttons from your form, open your form in Design View. Set the "Control Box" property to "No".
