So...upon downloading and opening the Sample_CR database, I do see that there is no Home button on the File navigation pane and my custom Output group has all the right icons; however, I receive an error when I click on the File tab. It cannot find any of the referenced backstage control ids...

It is definitely an idea. There are so many reports and some are just query datasheets...no way (that I know of anyway) to put buttons on those.

I'm looking in your demo now. It's making me question whether I should just create the whole ribbon using VBA! It's so tempting, but my time and effort on this database is volunteered and I think I need to be ruthless with my boundaries. I did notice that you also created a custom Exit button in...

Hmmm... I'm not sure why you are getting a different result. When I untick Allow Full Menus, the Home button in backstage is indeed removed, but so are the Excel, Word, and Email buttons in my custom Output tab on the ribbon. Here is a screenshot of the Output tab with Allow Full Menus ticked...

Apologies again! I should have thought of that...sorry. It's now a local table.

Sorry for not mentioning it previously...I did try FileCloseDatabase, and it works, but it just gives the Close (not the Exit) control and leaves Access open.

Forgot to attach! Sorry.

When I have <button idMso="FileExit" visible="true"/> in my custom code, I receive an error stating that the control is not found. I created a sample database...just a USysRibbons table and the options set as I have them currently. There are no other objects and no data, so all controls on the...

Hello...I've finally found a few minutes to attend to this. Thanks again for your efforts to help. Unfortunately, I really need the ability to export to Excel and Word and these functions are not available (even on a Custom Ribbon) without Allow Full Menus enabled. Although it would be ideal to...

My apologies. I've been distracted the last couple of days and haven't been able to spend any time on my database issue. Thanks for the recent files tip! I'll do that. I'd like to describe in more depth why it is necessary for me to have the export commands available; however, I don't have the...

Thanks isladogs. I've actually gone through your security measures article in depth! It's really well done. The thing is, I have already created a custom ribbon, which looks exactly right...no Home tab, nor any other default Access tab; only the custom tabs and commands I created. I tried adding...

I'm pretty sure I am actually using the code you published, which I happened upon during my extensive search to find working ribbon code...thanks for that, btw! I think the issue has to do with Allowing Full Menus, which I have to have in order to see certain Export functions in the Ribbon. That...

When I try to include my code, the forum won't allow me to post. I've tried pasting it in as text and I've tried retyping the backstage portion using the Insert Code tool...no luck. So...here is an image (again, just the backstage stuff, since the ribbon code makes it too long to fit in a single...

Attempting to include screenshots:

Except for the Intro I just posted, this is my first post to the forum...hi! I am attempting to remove all but the Exit control on the backstage File menu in Access 2016. I'm so close, but can't seem to get rid of the Home control on the backstage navigation panel or the Recent Files and...
