Personally, FileMaker's custom menus had always been an afterthought. Especially, when it came to creating my solutions. I've always considered their implementation pretty poor and there are a lot of dialogs to click through to set them up.

However, once I figured out a system which really worked for me, and kept my code organization pretty clean, I started adding them as part of the initial setup for new solutions.

In this video, I go through how I use custom menus and why you'll want to consider using them more heavily. If you've not used them before, then you'll be presented with all the information you need to get started.

If you have used custom menus, then you may find useful tips about how to optimize their use and making things more dynamic.

Either way, this tutorial video will present you will all the fundamentals about using FileMaker's custom menus.
