Why do they do that ?

I just spent a very frustrating hour trying to get Access 2007 to display a custom menu on a form, I remember doing this a while ago and it wasn't that hard.

Adding a custom menu to a form adds value by making getting around a lot easier for users which is probably why Microsoft decided to remove this functionality when they "upgraded" the software to 2007.

I'm not one to stand in the way of progress but sheesh, it's like upgrading a car by making all the buttons on the dashboard black with black lettering that lights up black when you press em !

Am confidently expecting the next iteration to disallow the use of alphanumeric characters.

Ok end of rant back to the day job.
