[AccessD] Shortcut menu

Is the menu you're selecting built as a shortcut menu or a regular menu?
You either get all shortcut menu capability or none, no in betweens.
Post the code you're using so we can see exactly what's going on.

Subject: [AccessD] Shortcut menu

I am trying to set the shortcut menu in code.  According to the help
file the property is settable via vba.  I selected a valid menu from the
combo in the property so that I was displaying the name of a valid menu,
then cut that and pasted it into a string constant - now I have a valid
menubar name for that property.  But when I try to do the assignment
statement it errors with "invalid data type".  The data is a string (the
right data type) and is verified as the real name of a real menubar that
can be manually assigned to the property.

Any clues why this is not working?

Furthmore if I turn off the "allow default shortcut menus" in the
startup properties then I can't seem to set the shortcut menu.  Is that
just a confusing name and you are really shutting off ALL shortcut
menus?  I assumed that it would just remove the default shortcut menu
but allow you to continue setting the shortcut menus to custom menus.

What the heck is going on here?
