Default Very Simple Question

I have a from with a whole bunch of subforms contained within a tab
control, so that users can enter data into five or six related
tables. In most cases the subforms are in datasheet view so that
users can see all the related records from a particular table as they
enter them, rather than viewing them one at a time. I prefer using
datasheet view rather than a continuous form because it allows me to
use the space on the form better and tends to look more like the
physical datasheets on which the data were recorded.

In the interest of keeping users from screwing around too much with
things or getting confused, I'd like to hide the drop-down arrows in
the column headings that bring up the sort/filter menu. I tried
setting the allow filters property to no, but the arrows are still
there (because sorting is still allowed). Any way to hide or disable
those things?

At the Form level, set the Shortcut Menu to No.
