Macros and Grouping on Shortcut Menus

I use macros as the basis for my shortcut menus. I've
noticed that when I use a RunCode or RunCommand and
separate them by a row with the "-" symbol, I get a nice
Grouping Line when I automatically create my shortcut
menu from the macro.

However, when I use "AddMenu", the "-" does not return a
Grouping Line. Why is this is there a workaround?

Also, is it possible in my macro to indicate the little
image I want next to the menu item? Can I do this in
code? If so, how do I learn the path and the names for
the images Access uses in its menu's?

Someone once mentioned it was possible to manage all your
shortcut menus and macros using some sort of table. Is
anyone familiar with that?

Thanks again,

Bill

Thanks.

That was me, I posted a sample database for you at
www.daiglenet.com/msaccess.htm. I tried to notify you by email but it
bounced.

Also if you are talking about the 'faces' on commandbar controls, you have
to refer to them via faceid. There is a nice utility on
http://www.mvps.org/skp/faceid.htm which is easily adaptable to be used with
Access.
 
Hi Sandra,

Thanks for the post but I'm afraid I would have to
understand Access MUCH better than I do to make sense of
that system - whew, my brain still hurts, lol.

Anyway, is there any way to set the FaceID's in my
macros? Also, your webiste with the FaceID downloads
didnt have any that would work with Access. Do you know
how I can change them so my Add-in Manager in Access can
use them?

Finally that Tree Control is very cool. I would love to
be able to use something like that to track conversations
I am having with people regarding various matters.
Anywhere I can go for a good description on where to get
the Tree Control and how to use it?

Thanks again. Wish I knew Access better.

Bill
