    Access Forms (Custom Menus)

    This is a simple enough question I would hope, but there doesn't seem to be much on the internet about it (presumably because it is incredibly obvious )

    How do I create a menu for a form in Access? In VB, each form has a menu editor, but I can't find anything similar in the Access form designer / VBA.
    Using Visual Studio .NET 2005

    Thats because there is no real menu editor as Office uses the CommandBars collection.

    The easy way would be to manually create one using the Customise Menu dialog that popups up when you right click on a menu or toolbar. Depending on your needs you may also do it programmatically but it will take some semi-fancy code.
