Cannot add new menu to the shortcut menu bar

[RobGMiller]

Access 2003:

Ultimately, a new or customized Context menu that appears when the user
right clicks in a form is required.

I have not done this for a while but as I recall the standard technique
is to display the ShortCut Menu Bar from the tool bar customization
window and drag a new menu from the Command list to the 'Custom' button
listing at the right end.

In this case, it does not work. A new menu listing does not appear in
the menu popdown below the 'custom' button.

There is very little documentation regarding the means to add a context
menu. I have never used this technique in Access 2003.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Create a new command bar, configure as you want it, and THEN change its type
to a shortcut menu.
