Re: [MS_AccessPros] Custom Ribbon Question

 

Jim-

The custom ribbons I've built aid app navigation or provide custom functions when in editable forms or when you have a report open.  For example, the Ribbon that displays with my main switchboard simply mimics navigation the buttons on the form.  When in an editable form, I display only the actions that I want the user to be able to do.  Ditto reports.

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
