    Print Preview Custom Shortcut Menu

    Can anyone walk me through VBA shortcut menu bars in Access 2010. I'm trying to lock down some of the options for right click in a report print preview. I have searched about every corner of the web and tried all the examples and cant seem to get them to work so if some one could walk me through a simple menu I can expand upon it from there. I'm at a loss, below is what I would like to do.

    - I have a report that only allows print preview which opens pop up/model the database hides the ribbon on open (navigation through forms and reports)
    - Want to get rid of some of the options on the right click menu
    - For the sake of figuring it out, how would I add a right click menu with (Print)(Close) with FaceId icons?



    Eventually I would like to add (sendasAttachement)(ExportasPDF) but I'd just be happy if I could see the menu appear.

    Thanks

    I have never customized shortcut menus (all disabled). I have customized the ribbon and QAT. One of my customizations is for reports. The only thing it provides is a printer icon to open the printer wizard.

    This site was a major assist in my effort. http://www.accessribbon.de/en/

    I have been using Access 2003 to create custom shortcut menus and then I Import them to my accdb files. You can create them directly in the accdb file using VBA too. I have not tried that approach yet since I already have a handful from yesteryear.
