PRB: Global Custom Menu Overrides Form or Report Custom Menu
'Article ID: Q117162

Creation Date: 22-JUN-1994

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

In Microsoft Access version 2.0, a global menu bar should be displayed unless a form or report that is open has its own custom menu bar. If an open form or report has a custom menu bar, then the custom menu bar should be displayed instead of the global menu bar. However, if you use the sample macro on page 46 of the Microsoft Access version 2.0 "Building Applications" manual to set an application's global menu bar, the global menu bar will be displayed instead of the form or report's custom menu bar.

The sample macro on page 46 of the Microsoft Access version 2.0 "Building Applications" manual that demonstrates how to set an application's global menu bar lists the following actions:

DoMenuItem OpenForm SetValue The order of these actions is incorrect. RESOLUTION

Switch the OpenForm and SetValue actions so that the order of the actions is:

DoMenuItem SetValue OpenForm Changing the order of the macro actions will cause custom menu bars to be displayed when appropriate instead of the global menu bar. STATUS

This behavior does not occur in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.
