How to edit a Shortcut Menu Bar

[DianePDavies]

I have a control with a Shortcut Menu Bar. When I rightclick the control,
this menu bar is displayed.

How do I find this menu bar to edit it?

I made this some years ago - but cant remember what I did...

Good article - but it does not reveal how to edet an existing shortcut menu
bar.
I simply cant find the already made shortcut menu bars in my application...
I can see a number of Shortcut Menu Bars when I look at the field "Shortcut
Menu Bar" in the properties sheet for a control - but I simply can't get to
these any more. When I rightclick the menus at the top and select "Customize"
I can see my other Toolbars - but not the ones available as Shortcut Menu
Bars...
How do I get to those?

Assuming this not in Access 2007.
Click Customize on the menu bar.

On the dialog that opens
select the Toolbar tab.

Scroll down to Shortcut Menus,
highlight and check the box.

Look up at the menu bar and you will see a new menu bar called shortcut
menus.

On the right hand side, click on Custom to see the list of custom shortcut
menus you created.

You can temporarily change a shortcut menu to a menu to edit it more easily.
To do this, click the properties button on the dialog (under the reset
button).
Scroll the drop down, select the shortcut menu you want and set its type to
menu bar.
Make the changes, and once again select properties, select the menubar just
edited
and change it back to a shortcut menu by choosing popup for the type.

In the article I provided there is a section on "Popup Menus" also known as
shortcut menus (it's almost at the bottom of the article).

In Access2007 you usually code the creation of shortcut menus.
