I have a database that was created in Access 2003. I'm using this MDB in Access 2010. I need to change a user created menu. The update involves changing an existing entry and adding a new menu item. The menu looks like: Screen Reports Excel Tools Exit Under Screen is: ... Project Time...

I have a number of databases created under Access 2003. I use the single line menu at the top of the window. I have now moved them all to 2010 as an mdb. If you are in a similar situation how do you update your old menus? I still have Access 2003 on an old computer, so I could make the...

Thanks. I'm looking for support of the 2003 menu/toolbar, not ribbons.

I know that ever since 2007 custom menus are not well supported as in 2003. Yes, they run, but making updates is difficult. From what I've read, outside to using 2003 to make changes, a person can create/update the menus using Commandbars in VBA. I'm wondering if anyone has created some...

I think I finally found the solution to my problem. Under Access 2003 you simply need to uncheck the Tools/Startup option "Allow Toolbar/Menu Changes". That would disable the short-cut menu for the toolbar, but allow you to keep the "Allow Default Shortcut Menu" checked. Unfortunately, this...

They are not macros. They are custom menus. I have their .visible property set to false, but they can appear by right clicking on the menu bar. The menu that does appear has its .visible property set to true. I used several menus depending on the security level of the person logged in. Of...

Thanks for your response. The problem is not on a form. The problem is the toolbar menu at the top of the screen (see pic on first post). I don't want that toolbar menu to allow a short-cut as shown. Is there a way to turn that off?

That eliminated the right-click popup, also it also eliminated the use of the short cut menu on the database objects when I work in the navigator. That is no good. Anyone have any idea how to eliminate the menu short-cut without remove other short-cut menus?

This pop-up list is commandbars that were marked as menus in Access 2003. Having done some additional research and experiments it appears that if I go to the options screen and Current Database/Ribbon and Toolbar Options and unselect "Allow Default Shortcut Menus" then I no longer get the menu...

I have several menus defined for Access 2010. However, only one is set with the visible property set to true. The user is able to show and bring up the other menus by right-clicking in the menu area. How can I disable this so the user may not bring up these menus? An example is shown in the...

Never mind. I see you are not referring to the property sheet. You are referring to the format menu. Note my reference to "Property" in the earlier posts. Mystery solved.

Yes, clicking the Windows Themed checkbox solved my problem without the need to open any forms. However, I still don't see "Shape Outline" property for a text box. Could it be called something else in 2010?

Thanks VERY, VERY much!! That saved me untold amount of work opening all my forms to change the controls!!!

I could not find a property for my text boxes called Shape Outline. However, I tried a similar thing with a property called Border Style. I changed it from "Solid" to "Transparent". When I did that it change the Special Effect property from Sunken to Flat. Then I changed the Flat back to...

In order to correct some problems in 2010 I needed to copy all my forms from an MDB created by 2003 to an MDB created by 2010. As a result my forms have lost the "Sunken" special effect (they look flat). Although, when I go into properties it still reports the special effect as "Sunken". I'm...
