Shortcut menu in Access 2007 Forms

Is there any way of enabling the shortcut menu for fields within a Form, for Sorting and Searching, whilst disabling the shortcut menu from the Title Bar of the Form for Saving, Closing and Design View?

You have to build your own tool bar to be used in place of the normal forms tool bar when that form is called.  Read all you can find on the form property Toolbar - especially Help in both the Database and VB Editor windows.
Here is an article on creating shortcut menus in Access that might help:

Thanks for your replies.

Yes I do mean the right-click menus. It would be nice to prevent the Save, Close and Views menu from the title bar of the Form whilst still allowing the Sort and Search menu from any individual field. I think that it can be achieved but the other way round by manipulating the Shortcut Menu Bar property.
