Right Click in runtime

#11

Thanks David
I found instructions for converting macros to VBA - easy when someone
tells you how
(http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/Microsoft...A-Skills-with-
MS-Access-Macros/). So I did. All went well until I tried converting
an Addmenu macro - no equivalent in VBA. So, if it can't be converted,
how can it activate the menu?

As for the SpellChecker, the computer with Runtime has all the other
Office components; don't tell me they all have separate SpellCheckers.
Nobody could be that stupid.

Further to yesterday's meltdown:-
Originally, not knowing how to link FE/BE under Runtime, I combined them
and the majority of macros worked, with the exception of SpellChecker
and Email.
Following advice, I placed the BE at C:\Program
Files\(Mydatabase\database)on my computer, created the links, then
replicated that on the Runtime computer. My logic says that should
work.
I was able to view data in a form, e.g., an invoice, but could not add a
new one. I could even view an existing Invoice for printout, and
magically, the email button worked! But I could not open popup forms - I
got a series of messages, including the one that told me the problems
lay in macro or VBA, or because something was trying to run in the
background. Now my logic fails me.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Those have to be replaced with toolbars, but if you're looking for
compatibility with the ribbon, you have to keep them.

I don't know that it's a matter of it being installed or not, but
that the runtime is specifically designed to not be able to use it.

I don't know the exact details. I've deployed very few runtime apps,
and have utilized the spellchecker only once in any of my apps.

It's really difficult to troubleshoot macros, which is one of the
reasons I avoid them like the plague.

Runtime spell check with F7 does not work with runtime, but adding "Spell
Check" to the ribbon does.
Assuming Office 2010 is installed.
