Convert a previous-version menu macro to a menu bar or shortcut menu

This procedure creates the new style of menu bar or shortcut menu from macros you created in a previous version of Microsoft Access.

1. In the Database window, click Macros under Objects, and then click the name of the macro you want to create a menu bar or shortcut menu for.

   To create the new style of menu bar or shortcut menu from macros you previously used for custom menus, select only the top-level menu bar macro. You don't need to select the macro group for each menu that appears on the menu bar.

2. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Create Menu From Macro or Create Shortcut Menu From Macro.

Notes  

• You can now customize the menu bar or shortcut menu using the Customize dialog box available by pointing to Toolbars on the View menu, and then clicking Customize.
  
  
• Microsoft Access won't delete the original macro (or macros if you're working with a menu bar macro and the associated menu macro groups) after it creates the new menu bar or shortcut menu. The new menu bar still depends on the original macro or macros, except for macros that contain only AddMenu actions or RunCommand (formerly DoMenuItem) actions.
