standard right click menus under XP runtime

[SJ]

Hi all,
to save me a bit of time setting up a test system, could anybody tell me if
one can use the "standard" context sensitive popup right mouse click menus
under XP Runtime.
menus such as copy, paste and the likes.

Also, will the "custom" popup menus i've created be useable?

thx

No. None of the built in menus or toolbars are available in the runtime.

Also, will the "custom" popup menus i've created be useable?

Yes, those will work just fine.

Hi SJ

No, the default right-click menus are not available in access runtime, and
yes, you can use custom pop-ups.

Hi SJ,

In addition to the answers you've already received, you can simulate a
runtime installation on your development PC, by starting Access with the
optional /runtime switch. To do this, click on Start > Run. Then enter:

msaccess "FullPathToYourDatabase.mdb" /runtime

Note: If you have more than one version of Access installed, the first
version found in the search path will be opened. In that case, create a new
shortcut that includes the full path to the correct version of msaccess.exe,
the full path to your database file, and the /runtime switch to the target.
Paths with spaces need to be enclosed with doublequotes. Also, the target
cannot exceed 256 (or is it 255?) characters total.
