Create a top level menu in the normal way but make it invisibleThen in the form code insert, replacing "menuMenu" with the name of your menu:
Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button = 2 Then 'right button
Me.PopupMenu menuMenu, , X, Y
End If
End Sub

If you don't want to use magic numbers (they are bad practice) you can use this also:If Button = 2 Then 'right button
Becomes:
If Button = vbRightButton Then

that works ok, but question:what if someone already has a menu on the form, how do they add another to be able to do this>? thanks

zaqarat,your line,"Then in the form code insert, replacing "menuMenu" with the name of your menu:" is inexplicable.Explain it properly.The main thing is that below this menu you need to've one or more visible sub-menus(s).
And these menus will appear as the popmenu,as one whole.

Are you using the PopupMenu code from above?If so, you might need to twiddle the X and Y values.
Some controls report X, Y based on the top of the FORM. Some report X,Y from the top of the CONTROL. Others report X,Y from the top of the SCREEN.
So you need to check the X,Y coords and see what they are based on. Then adjust them to get the right values.

Or else if you only want the menu to pop up where you 'right-moused', leave out the X & Y from your popmenu.P.S. Softraj - zaqarat,your line,"Then in the form code insert, replacing "menuMenu" with the name of your menu:" is inexplicable.Explain it properly. - presumably means use 'whatever is the name of your menu' should be inserted instead of 'menuMenu', as per normal postings on this forum ;-)
