    Custom MenuBar

    Hello,

    I have a database with forms,reports, etc. and I want to create a custom menu bar with only the options needed for the user. I know how to create it, my problem is, after hiding all other toolbars or menu with only my custom menu displaying it is possible to right click on the menu and select any other menu or even the customize option...

    Is there any way to disable the use of functionality of the right click on this area, or if this is not possible then disable the popup menu that is displayed with it?

      Nico5038,

      Thanks for the reponse.
      I read the link you posted, try it, and it works fine, but not completely...
      I successfully hide all the toolbars and menus, and display only my custom toolbar, however, when I right click on the menu bar most of the options in the popup menu of the right click are gone, except for the 'Customize' one, which it's a big flaw in this because from there we can add or remove any option we want to the customized menu...

      Any suggestion?

        In the Tools/Startup.. menu you can set the "Allow Toolbar / Menu changes" option to OFF.
