Right click menu options for Popup Report

[AKMonkeyboy]

I've got a report that displays as a popup - when set to popup the handy menu normally available when you right click on the report does not display.

Any one have any thoughts on how to get this to display? What are the criteria for displaying this menu?

Actually making a report open as popup or model does not disable the right click menu list.

Are you using any type of custom menus?

It is on the "Other Tab" of the report's property window (design view). That and the model property pretty much work the same way it works on forms. It keeps the window on top of other windows and the model won't let you go to any other forms or reports until the report is closed.

When the property was not acquired? Not sure. I have it in Access 2000 and 2002.

I'm running Access with the main window hidden, that way all my other windows are "floating" around and users can have other programs open (AND visible) when viewing my database. The users really like it.

At any rate, ALL windows must be set to pop-up, otherwise they open in the minimized area of Access (on the task bar) and are impossible to view. For some reason there are no right-click options available when previewing a report. Additionally, my custom toolbars also open "hidden".

I ended up having to print reports to Snapshot files, then opening them up in a Snapshot viewer attached to a Form.

Ahhhh.

I have an app that does the same thing. You will definately have to create cutom menus to use with your reports.
