I've just downloaded your 'Control the Application Interface' demo database and will have a look at your ideas of either hiding the ribbon or the complete Access interface.
However, at present I'm making use of the standard Print and Close Print Preview processes. It might take a bit of effort...
This address label printing database is only for use at home by my wife and myself. She is not very computer savvy, so I was aiming for the simplest possible interface. Total lock down is not necessary, and retaining the Options tab makes it easier for me to make changes.
I aim to make my code...
Thanks, KitaYama. You have solved my problem with the following line of code. The Home tab in the File menu has now been hidden :)
<tab idMso="PlaceTabHome" visible="false"/>
My full backstage coding is now as follows. As I wanted, only the Options tab is visible.
<backstage>
<button...
I updated my USysRibbons table with your SimpleFile ribbon, but it appears to have been designed for a different version of Access. It generated an error for the FileExit entry, as that button doesn't exist in my version of Access 365, and it lacked any entries for several tabs and buttons that...
The Home tab in the main menu is already hidden by using:
<ribbon startFromScratch="true">
I'm trying to remove the Home button in the File menu. Adding the following line to the tabs section doesn't achieve this for me.
<tab idMso="TabHomeAccess" visible="false" />
Hi Colin. As it happens, I already have a link to your website in a new Word document I created to store useful information about custom ribbons.
However, I failed to find any code to hide the one remaining item I wish to remove from my Access 365 backstage (the Home tab). I downloaded your...
When the 'All Access Objects' pane on the left of the Access 365 window is collapsed, it is replaced by an arrow that allows you to reopen the pane. Below that arrow there is a rather odd looking button (see image) that also reopens the pane. Having two buttons for the same purpose seems rather...
I have hidden most of the contents of the File menu in Access 365 using the code below, but I would also like to hide the New button. Can anyone provide the idMso for this button?
<backstage>
<button idMso="FileSave" visible="false"/>
<button idMso="FileCloseDatabase" visible="false"/>...
Yes, I stumbled across that one yesterday. It looks like an excellent resource. Chrome refused to download any of the sample databases without explaining why, but Edge gave me security warnings plus an option to download them anyway.
However, I was wondering if there were other good websites...
I'm still experimenting with my new interface and have added another tab, unrelated to label printing. This new tab (MyTab1) is on the far left of the ribbon and is selected by default when the database is opened. When I open a print preview I want the original print-related tab (now called...
I've done my best to follow your instructions (including a reference to Microsoft Office 16.0 Object Library), but I'm getting the following errors as soon as I open the database:
MyDatabase cannot run the macro or callback function 'ribbonLoaded'.
MyDatabase cannot run the macro or callback...
I had already managed to track down the required idMso for Print and Close Preview after making my last post, but you have provided answers to the two issues I had found with my solution. The default icon size was too small and the Print group was still showing after I had closed a print...
