Database Toolbar

[MarkusJohn]

Hello,
I want to implement a toolbar (menu bar) for my databe access file.
There should be Icons and Sub Menus from those I want to open forms and
reports.

How do I create such a toolbar and after that, how do I link the forms
to the toolbar´s entries?

Thanks in advance!
Markus

If you type the words 'custom toolbar' into the 'Type a question for help'
box near the top right corner of the Access window, you'll find lots of help
topics on this subject too.

Right-click on any toolbar or menu and choose "Customize". ONce the customize
dialog opens, press the [New] button to create a new command bar. In the
properties of the new bar you can setr whether the bar shoudl be a menu,
toolbar, or popup.

Adding items to the new bar is accomplished by simply dragging menu items and
buttons from the customize dilaog onto the bar. To run custom functions or
(yuck) macros just add any item and then set the OnAction property to the name
of the function/macro.

As with any command bar, form and report related actions should automatically
apply to the form/report that is currently active. Otherwise you need to use
custom functions.

Great this works fine!
But how can I do groups in that menu?
I want to have one button "Customers" and then a "sub-menu" that links
to the forms "new" "edit" etc...

Thanks!

On the Comands tab of the Customize box, go to the very end of the list on
the left and select New Menuthen drag New Menu fro the right side to your
toolbar. You can then add menu items under that dropdown menu.
