shortcut menu

[novice24]

How do i create a "right click" customized menu for a form.

I want to allow the user to perform several actions {sort ascending/descending, filter on current selections, etc...) but I want to keep the forms' properties from allowing the user to go into design view.

How do you make a customized "right click" shortcut menu and apply it to a form?

Any thoughts or directions to already answered question appreciated.

Create Toolbar:
1) View:Toolbars:Customize
2) Press the 'New' Button
3) Click the 'Commands' tab on the dialog box
4) Drag and drop items from the 'Commands' list onto your new toolbar
5) you can select additional commands from the Categories area
6) Use 'custom' to add any items that may involve your own VB code.
7) Click the 'toolbars' tab, find your toolbar, and change it's type to 'popup'

To modify a toolbar entry
1) Right Click on your toolbar, and select properties

To include the tool bar on a form:
1) Get the form properties; in the Other tab select the name of your toolbar.
