How to disable the right click of the mouse on an open form and report ?

Or for that matter in all of my application.

Thank you once again.

Click to expand...

There's a Shortcut Menu property on the Other tab of a form's property sheet
in design view. It can be set to No to disable shortcut menus. That may be
what you're looking for, for forms. I'm not sure about reports.
 
Hi

Use Shortcut = No

If you REALLY want to disable to right click for a user (do this on each
front end)
Use run REGEDIT
then go to
Windows
CurrentVersion
Policies
Explorer
Right click the empty are are then
New
DWORD Value
Set it to 1

oh yeah you had better change it to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER (not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) of you may have probelms if the
boss happens to use that terminal

BUT I would suggest just using
Shortcuts = No on the property box of a from - you won't get trouble then
(as by asking this question I suspect that you rally undersand the registry
keys - may be wrong) so it's not really a good idea to mess about with them

Up to you

Good luck
 
When you set that to No a menu still appears. The No will have an effect when
you click Close. When set to no nothing happens, if set to yes a new menu
appears and will allows to see your form in : form view, data view, layout
view, etc.

If you put your "macromenu", it is that one that will show up when you click
close.

I don't want the first menu at all.
 
Eric,

Perhaps you should try this - un-tick the Allow Default Shortcut Menus
box on the Tools -> Startup.... form. Note that this facility will
only take effect when you next start the database.
