Good evening:

Normally, i make my MENU with a form and button commands. I know this is not
the right way to do a Menu., but until now

As far i can remember, Visual Basic has a Menu Editor where i can put words
, some of them , with & which makes that that word , for example, becomes
_New and after i select it opens a form or a table or a report or quit the
aplication.

In such a way, and first of all i would like to know if Microsoft Access
has such possibility. and tool.

If the answer is Yes, where can i make that and how, ( a small example
would be very gretafull, where can i find it? Do i need a plug-in??? )

I am thinking of a menu toolbar with all the text i put on the buttons that
respond on the Click event.

Something like that:

Tables Forms Reports
Articles FrmArticles RptARticles
End

Thansk for your kindly reply

Bets regards
Jose
 
There was an add-in for Access 97 that was similar to the VB menu editor,
but I don't remember seeing anything like that for later versions. You can,
however, create custom toolbars and menus by right-clicking on an existing
menu or toolbar, choosing Customize, selecting the Toolbars tab in the
Customize dialog, then clicking 'New ...' It takes a little getting used to
if you're used to the VB UI, but it's OK when you get used to it.

open access and a db. right click any standard menu then
click customize. when the customize box comes up,
1.new toolbar
click the toolbar tab. click the new button and give it a
name. click the properties button. set the properties for
the toolbar you want.
2.Menu on tool bar
click the commands table. scroll to the bottom of the left
pane, click new menu. in the right pane, drag new menu to
your new toolbar. from what you posted, do this 3 times.
you can add more later. right click each new menu and set
the name of the menu and other properties.
3.object in menu
in the left pane, just above new menu, you will see "all
forms", "all tables", ect.
click anyone. here you can click and drag from the right
pane to each new menu (not the toolbar). after draging to
the menu, right click each object. set properties.
4.done
good luck
 
anonymous,

Thanks,

I have been searching my books and the known Access sites for this
information, to no avail.

Your tutorial was concise and easy to follow.

I really appreciate this help.
