Menu Header

[Karen via AccessMonster.com]

I have several databases that I would like the User to be able to open up one
application, and have access to all the other access applications. (instead
of searching the network for the different one-offs application like they are
doing now)

I need to build a Menu Header simiar to the standard "File, Edit, View" type
headers in one native Access database. This Menu Header will be Named
"Application". When the User clicks on "Application" they will get a drop-
down which lists all the other Access applications to choose from.

When the User picks an application, that application is opened within the
current native application. (similar to when you open up Access and click
FILE OPEN, EXISTING, and it pulls in the existing application. Only I don't
want the user to search/browse for it, I would like the code to just bring it
up from the click. ) I don't won't the user to leave the native application,
just open the application in the current.

Does anyone know how I can create this functionality?

It would be a custom Menu Header that would remain even when the new
application is pulled in.

Thanks,
Karen

Ok. I was able to create a Menu bar. But, I don't know how to create drop-
down "items" for each menu. I have "file", "application", "Reports", "Exit"
in my menu bar, but don't know how to add,(for instance) "Print" under the
file menu, etc.

Thanks for any help/guidance on this.

You added items when you needed to add submenus. An item just performs an
action when you click it. If you want a dropdown list of items you need a
submenu. In the menu builder tool drag and drop the item named "New Menu".
