How to create Custom Menu on Tally Start Instead of Gateway of Tally

In this Post I am sharing sample code about how to change and create custom menu on Tally.ERP9 Start instead of Gateway of Tally. This can be use full for security purpose were we want or employee to have only those options which we want on there screen and which cannot be achieved using default Tally.ERP9 security feature. So lets start.

In above code i have change the default Tally.ERP9 Gateway of Tally menu to "Main menu" and added the key items which i want my employees to have it on there screen.

I have also added key item which will take me to Default Tally.ERP9  Gateway of Tally but provided i have access to it. So using the above code my employee will only be able to use all the voucher type which can be accessed using Invoice Voucher Option and reports which I want them to see.

Note:- To have it more secure you will need to use default tally security feature on with security level set so that shortcut cannot be used.


Note:- This is just for education purpose you will need to edit the code as per your requirements.
