Transfer Access 2003 ADP Custom Menu Items

[Alan Z. Scharf]

Hi,

I have an Access 2003 Sql Server 2003 ADP which I constructed on my
computer. It includes two custom items I added to the built-in Help menu to
call custim help for the application. These two items call a function in a
vba module.

These cusutom menu items work fine on my computer.

However, when I transfer the application on my client's computers, the two
custom items I added don't even show up in the Help menu.

Are there additional steps I need to take to transfer custom menu items when
transferring the ADP to another machine or another SQL Server?

If this is not the best forum for my question, I'd appreciate being directed
to the proper one.

Thanks.

Alan

I am quite sure that if you customize a built-in menu bar, that is on a per
user basis.

If you want menu customizing to go with your application, then build a
CUSTOM menu bar, and specify that for the application or report or
whatever.....

The 2nd workaround would be to build a custom menu bar and then consider
having code that copies the options to the built in ones.

On the other hand, I get rather annoyed if some software changes MY OWN menu
bars...

So, if possible, I would use your own custom menu bar here...not modify the
built-in ones on each machine.

Most of my applications before 2007 had/have custom menu bars...but, they
are not the built-in ones changed so I don't have to write code or even
bother trying to mess with the build-in menus...

Albert,

Thanks very much for your suggestions.

I'll try a custom bar.
