Displaying Custom Menu Bars In Access 2007

I know that it is possible to force Access 2007 to the display custom
menu bars for an Access database developed in an earlier version by
using the customisation settings in A2007 to nominate a custom menu
bar to display on startup.

However is it possible to achieve this from within the earlier
version, perhaps by using code, so that one doesn't have to use A2007
to set the custom menu bar?

It seems that even if an application written in an earlier version has
a custom menu bar that displays on startup, A2007 ignores this and
displays the ribbon unless the custom menu bar is explicitly nominated
from within A2007.

I was seeing the same thing and I can't recall specifically what I did, but I
was able to get my 2000 MDE to display the same in 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2007
(no ribbon).

I will see if I can dig up what it was, but I'm fairly sure it was NOT something
I had to do in 2007's settings.

Hi all, I've read through the archives on this, and scoured the web, to little avail. There has to be a way to move custom menu bars (or menubars, or command bars, or popup command bars, or whatever) from one database to another, because it's an interface import option. I'm happy to slog through coding it myself, but I need a few pointers. Anyone out there done this, or found code templates for it? Seems like the CommandBar object

I've been clicking around Access 2007 Beta 2 and can't see the custom menu bar designer. Is it in the beta? Maybe I'm blind. The question that comes to mind is: Will custom menu bars be the same height as they were in previous versions or will they be the "ribbon" style that takes up a huge portion of the screen? Also when I use Access 2007 to open an Access 2003 database that has custom menu bars they display as they did in Access...

I have custom menu bars for Admins and Users. I now need to add a new group call 'DataEntry'. Their custom menu bar will be very similar to that for Admins, with just a few items removed. So, is there a way to copy a custom menu bar and give it a different name. The current Admin menu bar has a large number of items. To recreate it would probably take several hours. So if I could copy it, give it a different name and then remove...

Hi, I am trying to create two custom menu bars for my application, one for read-only users (without delete record), and one for update-access users (with delete record). I only need File and Edit options. File will be the same on both, but Edit will have different options. When I create an Edit menu on the custom menu bar, and then modify it, it seems to also be changing the Edit menu on the other custom menu,

I'm looking to add custom menu bars to a VB program. It was actually written in VBA with Access, and I have a custom menu on the access menu bar, but I want to hide the access window, so I need to move the menu bar onto the VB form, how do I do this? Thank-you in advance.

I am close to completing my current project, but before I deploy it, I would like to place custom menu bars on either the forms (preferrably) or the Access menu bar. I know how to do this using Toolbars -> Customize, but whenever I try to run the project elsewhere (ie. on a different machine), the menu bars have reset. How can I ensure that my project will display the same custom menu bar on any computer running Access 2003? Thanks.

I have a custom menu bar in MSAccess (DeskOrgz> and this menu bar contains several submenu bars. I also have a user login screen where the users are defined by level of access such as '1' for admin, '2' for supervisor, '3' for regular users. How do i set selected menu bars to be "read-only" if the user access level is "3". Thanks.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
