[dba-VB] Menu control

We use Infragistics controls, which are far from free but are very
reliable and enough like Access objects to feel familiar.  We are using
the Outlook metaphor, which doesn't thrill me but is popular.  We also
have menubars at the top of the screen and context menus available.  We
basically give the user multiple ways to get at menu options and we are
actively avoiding *ribbons*!!

Hi all

What kind of menu control or switchboard are you using for applications
which are aimed at normal users working in an office?

The Outlook-style is popular, I know, but what control to use to mimic
that? Preferably free stuff.
