Access 2007 & Removing Ribbons?

19 New Member
It has two fields - RibbonName and RibbonXML. And they contain "HideTheRib bon" and "<CustomUI xmlns="http://schemas.microso ft.com/office/2006/01/CustomUI"> <Ribbon startFromScratc h="true"/></CustomUI>"

I attached this to the "ribbon and toolbar options" in Access Options.

But when I use this Database I still get the Home Ribbon.

What am I doing wrong?

This works: (note, you will still have the ribbon space and the Office button on top, you cant get rid of those easily)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"> 
  2.     <ribbon startFromScratch="true">
  3.     </ribbon>
  4. </customUI>
First off, ribbon xml is extremely case sensitive! Compare this to what you gave us and you'll see where lowercase letters were needed.
Second, you have to close your <ribbon...> tag as well.

You should download the Custom UI Editor Tool from www.OpenXMLDeve loper.org. Use this to validate any ribbon code before you try it out, it will pinpoint errors and save you lots of headaches.

Also, this article on MSDN helped me out a lot when I started tinkering with ribbons:

Cool, I'm glad it worked out for you.
Ribbons are pesky little beasts... and it doesnt help much that Access doesnt return any error messages.. They either works great, or not at all.

How will Access fair in a year? Two years? .... The new version of Access seems to service non programmers as a wizard interface to quickly create databases via a fancy wizard.

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've been having a click around Access 2007 this afternoon and have discovered some things that range from annoying to alarming. My Access 2003 menu bars, which I, like many others, use extensively, are now hidden behind an "Add Ins" tab on the Ribbon. Hardly an intuitive place for a user to find them. Unless my memory is failing me, I'm sure that Access 2003 menus displayed normally in the 2007 Beta. The other thing I've discovered...

Ok, so I'm looking at Access 2007, and I have imported my existing Access 97 application. I'm feeling a bit overwelmed in what to do here. In my original 97 application, I had one form: Mainmenu, which contained a header area / customer selection area, and a subform. I had a custom toolbar that had a button for each major screen. So clicking Customers would load the customers form into the subform of the mainmenu. By choosing a customer in...

Hello all, In access 2007, does anyone know where to find a list w/pictures, of the names of pics that can be used in the ribbon? Other than the default happyface, I only found one other: AddressBook. I'm looking for more names to use in the line that looks like: <button id="Customers" imageMso="HappyFace" ...... Also, if you use the form design tool, it puts a nifty little logo in, but

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client. Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the products. I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be slower.

Office 2007 & thus Access has had it's menus replaced with the Ribbon Bar. It's very disconcerting. In Word, Excel, Access, I feel totally lost. Also all the shortcut Menu pulldowns don't work anymore ... eg Alt F-S to save a file Alt F-U for Page Setup in Word/Excel etc. etc.
