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...

I have question about the technique for css dropdown menus described in http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns/. Based on an html list, it has a few items in a 1st order list and further 2nd order lists that appear to the right when hovering over items in the 1st order. Anyone figured how to modify to go to n order greater than 2? Bit tricky I found. I could get the other orders but they all appeared when hovering over the 1st...

In Access 95/97 I used to be able to create pull down menus (File,Edit ...) from a macro. It seems there used to be some wizard for that. However in Access 2000 it seems you have to build your menus by customizing a toolbar. With this method you have to create a separate macro for every single menu and sub menu. The old method would allow me to include several menus (File/ print/ page setup ...) all within one macro. Now it seems I...

The only reason I ask is that no one has made this subject clear or given a definitive answer. What I would like to do is, after turning off all the menus/tbars/etc using the startup options. Upon restarting Access, when an admin is detected (I use a GetSystemUser() function) I want to restore everything so that Access behaves like normal, ie. all menus/tbars/etc show up (only where they are supposed to show up).

I recently discovered, that if you set the startup options for "security", you will have alot of work do to get Access back to "normal". If you disable the built-in menus/toolbars you'll have to reconstruct the one you want as a custom menu/shortcut(popup)/toolbar. All this was a long journey in order to allow the user to sort/copy on a datasheet view of a subform, with all the menus disabled in the startup options.

I distribute an A 2000 app as a mde. On a few customers, my custom menus are overwritten. The top menu is generally there but the choices on the menus are gone or replaced by something else. I can't figure this one out. Any ideas on what may be causing this? It happens on machines with A 2000 and A 2003, Win Home and Win XP. I've yet to see a pattern but it happens on about 3 or 4% of the users machines.

Hello all, For right-click (shortcut) menus in access 2007, I've been using a round-about method of opening access 97 on an old computer, modifying my own custom shortcut menus, then importing the menus only into my access 2007 project. This is proving cumbersome (especially since my old pc with access 97 likes to blue screen when running acc 97), and I was wondering if there's an easier way?
