Win 2000 to XP Home Problem

[Grumm]

Hi, I have developed a database using Win 2000 and Office 2000 Pro. In the start up panel I have unchecked the allow full menu's. The main reason for this is I do not want users to be able to view forms in the design view. On Win 2000 this works fine. I have now installed the application on a clients Home XP machine and things seed to be fine. A problem has occured where I have a form with a hpyerlink. On the Win 2000 version it will allow the user to insert and edit the hyperlink. On the XP machine it will only allow you to change the text. The only way round this and allow the full hyperlink menu is to check the Allow Full Menus which i dont want to do.

Is there an easy way round this problem.

Cheers

I have but that causes me a few problems as I amstill in development. Is one option to use custom tool bars?

I believe that custom tool bars should allow you to do what you want, or, the option I would prefer would be to follow hymn's suggestion of using an mde.

You can work in the mdb, and then when you are ready to test, create the mde from it. If changes need to be made, you revert back to the mdb. Being in development should not prevent you from using an mde.
