Hi All,
Does anyone know how to add a menu to and Access form. All I am after is a simple commandbar with a single, (About), menu item
Cheers

Don't you create your toolbar, open the form in design view, open the toolbar and place appropriately. Save the form. Close it and open normally to test.

unfortunately not. The toolbar will only attach itself to the MS Access window, not the form itself. Even if you set the forms MenuItem property, the commandbar will only appear along with the other Access command bars at the top of the screen.
You could fake one by putting a rectangle on the form, then adding whatever buttons you wanted.
Or, if like me, you got annoyed with Access toolbars/menu - loop through turn them all off and only leave your menu available (set the toolbar type to menu).
I actually got so annoyed with it I did that, wrote a chunk of code to read from a table and make up a whole new menu just the way I wanted it all in access. Also got rid of the right mouse menu too.
