    You can copy the Access built-in Window menu to your own menu, and
    manipulate it while your application is running, and put it back when done.

    For example, you can do something like the following, based on a variable
    isAppRunning:

       ' The Window menu popup in mnuAppMenu uses the standard full Access
    Window menu in order to display the list of open windows
       ' The [&Hide] and [&Unhide] are retained but made invisible (removal
    affects the standard toolbars).
       With mnuAppMenu.Controls("&Window").Controls
          ![&Unhide...].Visible = Not isAppRunning
          ![&Hide].Visible = Not isAppRunning
       End With
