Solved: When to add custom menus?
I'm looking for some advice about when to add custom menus. I have a workgroup that points their startup directory to a server across a network to load a global template. Only a few of those users, however, are allowed access to certain documents merged with confidential data. I've created a custom menu to give the intended users the ability to access to create and merge these documents, but I'm wasting valuable time experimenting with when to insert the menu.
I'm currently storing the menu temporarily in the startup global template to which users have read-only access. I've tried autoexec, document open, close, autoexit--in addition to application level events. I want the menu and commands accessible to these users in every window of word they have open, and I want the menu to be loaded only when the user has been verified.
The events trigger a few routines that essentially check to see if the user qualifies, delete the custom menu if it's already there and then add it again.
Any advice?
P.S. The IS folks won't point the startup directory of these users to a different location, so they have to share the global template with others who can't use all the stuff in it.
