When running an Access 2003 database in A2007, I've found that custom
shortcut menus don't show any controls of type msoControlEdit or
msoControlComboBox.

I've searched everywhere but I can't find any reference to this except
in several German newsgroup posts - from there (with the help of some
dodgy online translation) it seems that the only way to get these
controls to show correctly is to launch the shortcut menu using
Application.CommandBars("MyShortcutMenu").ShowPopu p

Has anyone else come across this problem, and is there any other
solution to it? And why does it only seem to be known to German
speakers? ;-)

I'm still getting to grips with Access 2007/2010 and so my other
question is, given that shortcut menus only seem to have a legacy
implementation in these new versions, what interface mechanism is
supposed to replace them? Surely not a custom Ribbon tab, which would
seem a very clumsy solution??

Thanks
