In Access 2007 you can add a hyperlnk as a dB field. When doing so on a form you can right click the mouse over the hyperlink field and it will allow you to edit hyperlink in which you can easily navigate to your desired file without actually writing all the address line. Quite easy and it works great. But...

When I attempt to create the FE distribution file by hiding the Navigation Pane and the Toolbar from the Access Options tab it hinders the user's ability to righ click on the hyperlink and select their desired file to access.

Is there a way to hide the toolbar and keep this right click functionality to permit the above process to work. Thanks for any and all help !!

Could you elaborate on this bit?
 
To elaborate on ths phrase, "create the FE distribution file by hiding the Navigation Pane".

Upon splitting the dB I use the "Access Options" tab on the front end file to lock down features I don't want my users to see or use. When using "Access Options" tab I can choose to remove the navigation pane and the toolbar/short cut menus. However, when I choose to remove the tool bar and the default short cut menus from the front end; it in turn doesn't allow me to use the righ click mouse feature on a separate form feature to edit a hyperlink field. Without the ability to edit the hyperlink field my users must find and insert the actual hyperlink http: address to use the hyperlink feature. If I turn the toolbar/short cut menu back on the edit hyperlink works. I need to hide the toolbar/short cut menus so my users can't create havoc with my queries, forms and macros. Hope this provides a better understanding of my problem.
 
Alright I see. So in order to allow provide that functionality you will need to create your own shortcut menus and link it up to the relevant RunCommand constant.
 
Thanks for your review and solution but I don't have a clue on how to start that process and tie it into RunCommand constant. Suggestions on how to ?
