Looking for a tutorial/web-site resource on creating custom menus

[Amit]

Greetings,

The Access database/application that I'm currently working on needs more
action items, and so far, I've managed to achieve that by using buttons. But,
I think it's time to venture into the territory of creating custom menus so
that the forms remain uncluttered, and the menus are available throughout the
application irrespective of the form that's open.

I've searched this newsgroup, and also googled a bit, but haven't found any
useful resource on how to design and build custom menus. There was one URL
provided by Albert K. but it is no longer valid (the post was from 11/9/2004).

I'll appreciate it if someone can point me towards some resource on the
Internet that covers the basics of creating custom menus.

Basically, something like:

Add Run Report
-------- -----------
1. Person 1. Meetings
2. Organization 2. Events
3. Organization
4. Person

So, the menu will say Add, and clicking on it will open it to show 2 options
(Person, and Organization), and selecting one will open the form for that
specific function. Similarly for running reports.

Thanks for any help.
