I was following the Help directions trying to create my first custom menu. I
chose the built-in File Edit View Records Tools and dragged them onto it.

I wanted to limit the commands so I deleted commands by dragging off.

Unwisely I deleted View->Toolbars command which is Apparently What I Need to
Fix the Problem.

I wanted this Custom Menu to appear in Form View only. It seems to be global
as it is in effect on other databases as well as all views in any database.
When I tried to add it to the ToolBar Property of my form Access said it wasn't
the correct type (menu,toolbar or short cut)
 
You don't want to start modifying the built in tools bars. Make your own.
You can go and grab/steal as many buttons from existing bars by dragging
buttons form the built in ones. Just remember to use ctl-drag, and not just
"drag". If you just drag and droop, you "moving" and thus modifying the
built in bars...and you don't want to do that.

Always create your own bars. As for adding drop down menus, you generally
will change your tool bar to a menu bar. You then with the customize menu,
select the last option of "new menu"

Here is a tutorial on creating menu bars.
