Hide File tab in Access 2010

[AliyuKatsina]

Hi,
I just upgraded to Access 2010. I was able to solve all migrational issues, but my custom ribbon is showing two File tabs, one that I created and the default access file tab. Any idea on how to get rid of the default File tab or at least disable it?

How did you made your custom ribbon? Do you have some XML code somewhere? If so, did you check it?

Yes the xml was in a system table and it worked fine in 2007. However I do understand that the file menu replaces the Office Button in 2007, so instead of the office button which I can tolerate, I am landed with two 'File' tabs.

So this system table is "USysRibbons", right? Check your ribbon definition there for a double entry. If found, remove it.

Sure the table is USysRibbons and there are no double entries. the first 'File' contains buttons that I didn't create, so I know the tab is added automatically by access, and there is no mention of it in the USysRibbons table. In fact all my custom ribbons have the File tab automatically appended to it!

Append once or twice? What I mean is, do you have added a File tab entry in your custom ribbon definition? If so, would it be o.k. to remove that one?

Yes I have added a 'custom' File tab to my custom ribbon. I can remove or rename it to something else, but access will still add a File tab to my ribbon.

Sorry to leave you this way. No idea at the moment. Will come back if new ones come up.

Can you upload an empty copy ( = empty tables) of your accdb file please?
