Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.



SYMPTOMS
You cannot disable, or turn off, the shortcut menus in the Microsoft Access version 2.0 Database window. Shortcut menus are displayed by clicking the right mouse button.



RESOLUTION
Although you cannot disable shortcut menus in the Database window, you can disable them in forms by setting the form's ShortCutMenu property to No.

The shortcut menus are also disabled when a Microsoft Access application is run using the run-time version of Microsoft Access provided in the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT).

To prevent users from seeing the built-in toolbars, set the Built-In Toolbars Available option to No in the Options dialog box. Note that this will not prevent users from seeing any available custom toolbars.

To prevent users from changing custom toolbars, set the Can Customize Toolbars option to No in the Options dialog box.



STATUS
This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95, version 7.0.
