custom buttons

[Steve]

I have an ADP that I have setup to open with the following startup options:

Allow Default Shortcut Menus - NO
Allow Full Menus - NO
Allow Built-In Toolbar - YES
Allow Toolbar/Menu Changes - NO

I have some menu features in the program that I want the users to have.
Example, when report is viewed, they SHOULD be able to use the feature that
converts the report to Excel document or Word Document. There are also a
few other custom menu buttons that I need for them to have, but I do NOT
want them to have the FULL set of menu buttons available.

How do I setup an ADP so that I can program which buttons or menus are
available. I have tried to do this at the program level without success.
The only thing I have been abel to do is to setup EACH users's computer with
the right menu, but this causes ACCESS to only use those menu options for
ALL access progams they use.

This might be requiore a rather detailed response, so perhaps someone could
direct me to a place/webpage that gives me step-by-step instruction on how
to establish a custom menu/button array for a specific ADP?

Make a custom toolbar and assign it to the forms you want them on. You can
make as many custom tool bars as you need. Then don't allow the system tool
bars.

I just read where you didn't know how to make a custom tool bar, sorry, here
goes.

To make a custom tool bar
1. right click in an empty space in the tool bar, select the option
Customize.
2. click on the Toolbars tab
3. Select New ...
4. Name it, then find it in the list and check the box , a popup will appear
with no commands
5go to the commands tab and right click and drag into the blank tool bar all
the commands you want in it.

Then in the forms property sheet under Other you can select the customized
tool bar as the only one for that form. You can reuse it on any other form or
create different ones for different forms.
repost if you need more help with this.
