Solved Shortcut Menubars (1 Viewer)

[mib1019]

Hello All!

In my database, the objects open is TAB view, rather than separate windows.

I want all of the forms to retain the default context menubars for the controls, (so that I can use cut/copy/paste, sort, etc.) I want to disable the context menus on the tabs themselves. User will have the 'x' to close each tab, and don't want the Save, Close, Design View, Form View options to be shown.

Can't figure out how to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

It seems like I cannot have it both ways, i.e. to turn off (or modify) the context menu on the object's tab and keep the context menus for the controls on the forms.

Hi. Can you post a screenshot of what you mean? Thanks.

Yes, here is a form. I want to turn off the one that is accessed with right-click on the TAB, but keep the one that is available for form records.

I think I understand maybe go to options>currentDB>Select your shortcut menu bar

also on all forms you have the option to select which shortcut menu to use for a form or completly disable them. look in the property sheet Other Tab>Shortcut menue will enable/disable and shortcut menu bar.

hope it helps mick

you need to "Add" a shortcut menu on the MainForm.

Looks excellent, arnelgp. Am going to incorporate your advice in my db.
