Hi!
I will send out an Access database file I created with a start-up form to a
user. I need to limit the user only using provided form, I had tried to
uncheck the Allow Full Menu in the Startup setting, but I need to add-in a
few commands like Filter and Sort for the user, how to switch off the Allow
Full Menu while still have my customize menu? Or how to create a customize
menu bar? Thanks

Hi.
I need to add-in a
few commands like Filter and Sort for the user, how to switch off the Allow
Full Menu while still have my customize menu? Or how to create a customize
menu bar?

See the following Web pages for step-by-step instructions on how to create a
custom menu:

Create a custom menu bar:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...chowCreateCustomMenuBarForCurrentDatabase.asp

Add custom menus to menu bar:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../en-us/off2000/html/ofdccCreateCustomMenu.asp

Add a built-in menu:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...y/en-us/off2000/html/ofdccAddOrDeleteMenu.asp

Add commands:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../en-us/off2000/html/ofhowAddCommandToMenu.asp

After you've created your custom menu, select the Tools -> Startup... menu
to open the Startup dialog window. Select the "Menu Bar:" combo box and
change (default) to the name of your custom CommandBar. Uncheck the "Allow
Full Menus" and "Allow Special Keys" check boxes. Select the "Display
Form/Page" combo box and select your startup form. Uncheck the "Display
Database Window" check box. Any other changes in this dialog window can be
made at your discretion. Select the "OK" button to save the changes. Close
the database and then reopen it and you'll see the built-in menu momentarily
(this depends upon how fast your computer is) and then your custom CommandBar
will be displayed.

HTH.
