How do I show the open windows on a custom menu?

I'm using Access 2002 and have created a custom menu for the application. I would like to have a menu group Windows (standard MS GUI) and show the open forms/windows list in that group. Does anyone know how to do that?
 
Does this mean that you want, at runtime, to dynamically define the contents of the menu? Could you provide a sample of what you want that menu to look like?

Good Luck

I would like it to look pretty much like the default menu Window group (the typical menu for any MS app) with a list of all the open windows within the application, e.g.

1 Main Form
2 Switchboard
3 Form B

Hoping there's any easy answer.. Thanks!
 
Not sure exactly what you are looking for but you can add the window menu to any custom menu bar by going to:
Tools/customize Select the Commands tab. Select built-in menus from the category list box. Then in the commands list box drag the window command to your toolbar.

HTH,
Eric
 
I thought you wanted to do this programmatically during run-time?
