How do I add a custom menu to a report?
I created a menu that only contains Export and CLose options. I want the
user to see this menu when a report is previewed (Maximized). Currently they
see the min/max/close buttons, but the users are afraid to hit X because they
think they are exiting the application. I want to add a menu that says
"Export... Close Report" and remove the close button on the form.

I created a menu and added the following code to the on open event of the
report:
Reports.Application.MenuBar = "Sales and Orders Reports Menu"

I also added the menu name to the report's menu bar property, but the menu is
not showing up. How do I get this to work? Or is there a better way to
accomplish what I need to do?

Thanks,
Karen

The Report has a property on the { Other } tab name MenuBar. Just put the
name of your menu bar in that property (no
