We are using Access 97 runtime for some of our staff.
I noticed today that in reports if they right mouse click, they don't get a
shortcut menu. I want them to be able to Export the report they are viewing.

Would Access 2003 runtime have the shortcut menu?

Thanks

It has been my experience with Runtime versions of Access that you create all
functionality. The runtime database engine does not have the familiar user
interface as the full version of Access.

I think it has to do with settings. Are the Runtime users using a compiled
(MDE) database? When you compile, have you unchecked some of the options in
the Tools | Startup menu? Specifically, the Allow Default Shortcut Menus
option?

The right click menu is one of the things that runtime specifically
disables.

The simplest approach would be to add a command button to do the
export.
