Disable the form Shortcut menu to discourage deliberate or accidental changes (2002/2003/2007)
Most Access developers know that they can change views and modify certain form properties from the shortcut menu Access provides when they right-click on a form. Of course, most Access users know this as well. While you can’t completely stop users from switching views or changing property values without using code, you can quietly let them know that you’d rather they not do so by simply taking away their ability to bring up the shortcut menu.
To disable the shortcut menu for a form, simply open the Properties pane, locate the Shortcut Menu property, set it to No, and then close the Properties pane. Now, when you open the form in Form view and right-click on it, the shortcut menu will not display. Keep in mind that this also prevents the shortcut menu for text boxes from displaying. |
