How do I allow Right-Clicking on Pop-Up forms?

[gold007eye]

I have my database set with pop-up forms, but I need to allow users the ability to right click on forms and view options I have set in a custom menu bar. For some reason I can't get right-clicking to work on these types of forms. Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this or if there is some sort of code I could use to do this?

Have you saved the toolbar to type popup, then specified this in the shortcut menubar property of the form , (also set shortcut menu = yes)

I do have it saved as a popup type; which makes it a shorcut menu bar. I will try setting the shortcut menu property on the form and see if that works.

* I think the problem is I have it set so the database window hides; and the form pops up looking like an application as apposed to an access database; this is where the right clicking wont work; if I unhide the database window; right clicking works fine.

I think you are right (i seem to remeber this problem myself) - the hiding of the application causes problems with the shortcut menus. A solution I used was to have the application minimized then a statup screen which sits there permantly (which hides the application window) this looks the same as hiding the application completely - but you can then use short cut menus.
