I have inherited an Access 2007 application that was created in Access 2000.
There is a custom shortcut menu that I need to modify but I cannot seem to
find it. Any help would be appreciated.

They do make that a bit obscure.

Right-click on any toolbar or menu and choose "Customize". When the
customize dialog comes up scroll to the bottom of the list of Toolbars and
you will see "Shortcut Menus" at or very near the bottom. Check that box
and a new bar will appear on your screen giving you access to all shortcut
menus. Custom ones will be at the end in a drop-down labeled "Custom".

I have the same problem and don't understand this answer. The problem is
with Access 2007. The suggestion is to right click on any toolbar or menu,
but there aren't any toolbars or menus in 2007! I can only get to customize
the Quick Access toolbar and that dialog doesn't make any mention of Shortcut
Menus that I can see.
Any suggestions of where to go from here?
