[MS_AccessPros] Re: Custom Ribbon Question

 

Jim - Custom Ribbons are a way to control what your user can and can't do. It simplifies things, too. I have a report ribbon that has various options for printing, sending to Excel, emailing, PDF.

By hiding the default ribbon, you can further prevent the user from messing with the tables, queries and macros.

Hello all,

I have been learning how to create a custom ribbon using xml. I am trying to learn more about access.  So I have created several tabs and they work great. But I am looking at one of the tabs and I have a lot of reports on the one tab and was asking the most important question. "Does anybody really create custom ribbons and use them?" And what would users and developers use them for? Like opening forms instead of using a switchboard with buttons? Just wanted to get an idea if the learning about ribbon development is worth the journey.

Thank You

Jim Wagner
