You can create shortcut menus and instead of invoking them with a right-click as
you usually would you can display them when an object is clicked on. If that
object were a label made to look like a menu item then the overall affect would
be much like a menu bar, especially if you created a series of these labels
across the top of your form. If you used buttons, it would be more like a
toolbar.

The command I use is...

CommandBars![MyMenuName].ShowPopup

Of course you can build a custom menu and attach it to a form, but it will
show in the Access window; if the form is not maximized, the custom menu
will not move around with it.

I successfully made my own custom menus, however they are only
effected on the current machine running ms access. When i transfer the
mdb or mde file to another computer, they do not inherit the new menus
i have added, rather they stick with thier machines default menus. Is
there a way to have the menus i add be attached to the file, rather
than just change ur ms-access menu settings?
thanks

Yes..you can, and should make the menus move with your application.

If you modify the built-in menus..then of course they stay with your pc.

However, if you make YOUR own custom menus..then they go with the
application.

So, don't modify the built in ones..but use the customize options to make
your own menus...
