TITLE   :ADT2: Menu Items That Should Be Disabled in Run-Time Apps
PRODUCT :Microsoft Access Distribution Kit
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:2.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbui

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit, version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

When you run an application created with the Microsoft Access Developer's
Toolkit, the following menu items that should not be available are available:

 - On the File menu: Print Definition
 - On the Security menu: Print Security
 - On the Help menu: Technical Support
 - On the View menu: Toolbars

Depending on the nature of the application, design functions and other unwanted
menu items may also appear.

CAUSE
=====

You did not disable or provide alternatives for the default menu bars.

RESOLUTION
==========

To ensure that users see only menus appropriate for the application, either
disable the default menu bars or supply custom menus. To do so, do one of the
following:

 - Use custom menus.

 - Set a form's MenuBar property to = 1 to remove the menu bar.

 - Define a global menu bar for the application.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 2.0. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

1. Create (or use an existing) database that has no custom menus and no startup
   form.

2. Open Program Manager or File Manager, and on the File menu, click Run.

3. In the Command Line box, type "msarn200.exe <databasename>.mdb"
   (without the quotation marks) where <databasename> is the name of your
   database. If necessary, include the path to this file.

4. On the database's menu bar, click Help. Note that the Technical Support
   option is available.

5. On the menu bar, click File. Note that the Print Definition option is
   available.

6. On the menu bar, click Security. Note that the Print Security option is
   available.

7. On the menu bar, click View. Note that the Toolbars option is available.
