Is there a way that my custom menu can dock INSIDE the form that I created it
for?? For example: I have a form called "Members" and I created a custom Menu
bar for this form. I would like it to show up inside the form (like they do
in VB) not outside it somewhere. Can this be done in Access?
Thanks.

Click to expand...

No but you can fake it. For straight menu items and toolbar buttons just
use labels and buttons Click events. For sub-menus have a label with a
Click event that displays a shortcut menu.

CommandBars![ShortcutMenuName].ShowPopup

If you make the above into a subform you could even embed it at the top of
multiple forms.
 
Rick,
I've set things up as you suggest, but now I've got another question.....
so I have a pop-up menu created for a sub-menu and I want it to open just
below the button that the user clicks to open the sub-menu..... how do I tell
the form to open at that exact spot on the other form?? Thanks.
