SYMPTOMS
You cannot disable, or turn off, the shortcut menus in the Microsoft Access
version 2.0 Database window. Shortcut menus are displayed by clicking the
right mouse button.
RESOLUTION
Although you cannot disable shortcut menus in the Database window, you can
disable them in forms by setting the form's ShortCutMenu property to No.
The shortcut menus are also disabled when a Microsoft Access application is
run using the run-time version of Microsoft Access provided in the
Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT).
To prevent users from seeing the built-in toolbars, set the Built-In
Toolbars Available option to No in the Options dialog box. Note that this
will not prevent users from seeing any available custom toolbars.
To prevent users from changing custom toolbars, set the Can Customize
Toolbars option to No in the Options dialog box.
STATUS
This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95,
version 7.0.
REFERENCES
For more information about toolbar options, search for "Options command -
general," and then "Options Command (View Menu)" using the Microsoft Access
Help menu.
