Shortcut Menu becomes Disabled after an Edit in a New Record?

[ApexData]

In Startup I have all Menus Off. I created a ShortcutMenu which has
the "InsertObject" option as its only selection. I open a form that has
New/Edit/Del buttons. This form has a linked OLE Picture Control. When
I am in EDIT mode I can Right-Click on the Picture Control and the
ShortcutMenu becomes available with the InsertObject option, and it
works great. If I press the New button to create a new record, I have
the same ShortcutMenu functionality when I go directly to the Picture
Control, however, once I begin entering data in the other fields
(PencilOn), the ShortcutMenu "InsertObject" option becomes grayed out
when used in the Picture Control. My ShortcutMenu is named Custom2,
and is located only in the Picture Controls ShortcutMenuBar Property.
This is a bound form.

Why is the ShortcutMenu option GrayedOut in the PictureControl, only
after adding data to another field? I wish for this to remain ON.

ThankYou

THINK I found the problem:

Under my Edit button I have Me.AllowEdits = True.

Under my New Button I only had Me.AllowAdditions = True.
If I put AllowAdditions and AllowEdits as true under the NEW Button
it seems to work OK!

Any Problems with using AllowAdditions and AllowEdits as True when
adding a New Record. Is this what I should have been using all along ?

Thanks
