Ab-normalization at Experts Exchange - part 10

Question today:
How do I hide the Search box/filter indicator in the Record Navigator in 2007

This blog is not about the content of this question (as it's not really answered), but about abnormal behavior of the #1 Access expert of Experts Exchange in this case.

A questioner asks:
How do I hide the "Search" box and the Filter indicator next to the Record Navigation buttons on a form?

The first comment provided by the #1 Access expert:
"in the design view of the form, hit F4, select the Format tab"
"set the Navigation Buttons property to NO"

Response from the questioner:
"capricorn1 -- But that also gets rid of the Navigation Buttons, which I need! I just"
"want to get rid of the filter indicator and the search box."

Response from the #1 Access expert:
"you may have to create your own navigation button..."
and additionally a link to a piece of code for Access 97 to do this

Being not content with the provided solutions the questioner requests the question to be deleted, but....
Surprise surprise, there's an objection by the #1 expert as he'll not get his points... The reason is that his comments (including the one obviously rejected by the questioner, but who cares) would have solved the problem.

A true eye opener how questioners are bullied in accepting solutions they don't want.
Instead of helping the questioner till he's satisfied here the questioner is forced to accept an answer he doesn't want..

Guess Experts Exchange will have made a big impression on this paying customer, because of a point hunting #1 Access expert...

Great show capricorn1, proves my statement that there are still "experts" at Experts Exchange not interest in helping, but only in collecting points.
Another case added to the file of negative side effects of the Experts Exchange copyrighted point system.

Nic;o)
Still proud to be suspended from this "quality site" where wannabee experts rule and "quality" is just another word from the dictionary.
