Menus overwritten "bluetooth device not found"

I distribute an Access 2000 mde file.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/information-technology/7210-menus-overwritten-bluetooth-device-not-found.html

On some customers computers, my custom menus are overwritten. On a menu with
several choices, my choices are replaced with a single "Other....." and when
this is clicked, a message pops up and says "bluetooth device not found".

I don't use bluetooth at all in my program.

Any ideas on how to fix this??

No, but I have seen it and couldn't fix it in that system. It was just as you
describe, right down to the bluetooth reference in the error. (IBM Thinkpads by
any chance?)

It only affected sub-menus on a standard menubar or toolbar (shortcut menus not
affected) so I ended up just replacing the entire menu with a single button that
displayed a shortcut menu.

I actually ended up liking the more "vertical" menu better anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

What kind of button did you use to display the shortcut menu how did you
call the shortcut menu?

Just a standard menu item. In its OnAction I call a custom function
=ShowMenu() that has the following line of code...

CommandBars![MyMainMenu].ShowPopup
