Hello!

Is it possible to make a contextual menu on Access. (that shows on the mouse
right click)
If it is the case, would please tell me how, or redirect me to a website
that shows how to do it

Thanks for any suggestion.
 
Before you start making "right click" menus, you should have experience
making regular menus..and thus the "next step" in the learning process is to
then start making right click, or so called shortcut menus.

menus, menu bars etc are make via drag and drop with the mouse. Once you get
the hang of it..it is rather fun to make them.

I don't have a recent link, but here is a tutorial for access97, and it
still well applies to day...

You can also find a smaple of mine that has a few custom menus bars, and
notice how ALL of the ms-access interface is hidden in this appction (I ONLY
had to use the tools->startup options to hide everything...and no code or
secirty is needed to accomplish this).

(grab the 3rd file)...it does not have any shortcut menus...but it does have
some custom menus...
 
Just one more question about menus..
Can you give a BackColor to a sub menu?

Thanks again.

Hum, no...I believe the menus get their colors from the windows settings...

(perhaps with some weird api code you might be able to do this..but not
normally..).

The menus in ms-access look not too bad...if you look at the following, you
will see several screen shots of ms-access menus (in fact, they all are
except for one of outlook express).
