Animation in menus is a windows (system) wide setting. If your cascading and
menu bars in ms-access are animated, then ALL other applications you have on
that pc are also going to behave this way.
In other words..this is a user preference setting, and not a application
setting that YOU change. In other words...it is the users that decide this
issue
(I would likely shoot, or at least throw out any software that changed these
kinds of settings on MY PC!). Your users will go ballistic if you even
attempt to change these kinds of settings.
However, I do NOT like the adaptive menus (that is the ones that hide parts
of the menus...and that drives me nuts)..
So, in my startup code, I do turn off adaptive menus (but, menu animation is
set in the control panel).
Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", False
Application.SetOption "Themed Form Controls", True
Application.SetOption "Show Startup Dialog Box", False
Application.CommandBars.AdaptiveMenus = False
And, to be really honest, my above code (that I use for startup in most
access applications) does actually set AdaptiveMenus, and that would also
effect other ms-access applications (I should in fact grab the value...set
it...and upon exit set it back to whatever it was).
Anyway...for setting the animation of menus...you go:
start->control panel ->display->appearance tab-> effects button
In the above menu, you can choose what animation you want...or simply turn
it off.
(above also assumes classic view for contorl panal)
So, it is possible that you want to turn off adaptive menus...and I actually
think you should!!!...but animation for menus is going to be a lot more
difficult to set/change.
