Bugs
If you find them, please message me at this site, or at shawnkanyer@gmail.com
-the hide the nav pane button sometimes hides the settings form. This is due to the limitations of docmd.navigate To. I will try to fix it.
-turning off the shortcut menus is glitchy. I'll look into this too. (neither of these bugs are a big deal)

Possible Future Updates
-giving contributors more recognition
-fixing some errors I made as seen in the supporting docs
-bug fixes, when found
-Message me your comments!

Credits
If I failed to give credit to someone for their work, please let me know.

This will be split into two posts due to attachment limitations.

This is an addin now (half of it anyway).

Installation Instructions:
1. Place both mda files on your desktop
2. Navigate to your Access.exe in the Program Files directory
3. Right Click, run as admin
4. Install both mda files as addins
5. Install the msi file

You will now have more buttons on your home tab. Play around with it in a blank database.

Also, the backend update routine is rewritten. It no longer opens a batch file. Now, the backend is copied using the fso object, assuming now ldb file is present. It is much more transparent.

Here is the rest of the needed files.
