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...

Thanks for that info. I will obviously just have to wait until Microsoft issues a fix...

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 found the answer in an old post on the Utter Access forum. The following code hides the New button: <tab idMso ="TabOfficeStart" visible="false"/>

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...

Thanks for that clarification. It all appears to be working now :) :)

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...

Where do I find all the required settings for the Print and Close Print Preview buttons? The id, imageMso, and onAction settings appear to be the key items.

I have created a simple accdb database in Access 365. Its only purpose is to print labels for selected names and addresses. My objective is to create a very simple interface that hides everything that is irrelevant. With the help of...

I have a subform with a multiselect listbox that contains more items than can be shown at one time. Selections are stored in a table, with a different set of selections for each record on the main form. As I step through the records on the main form, is there any way to force the listbox on the...

I maintain an Access 2007 database that stores all the information relating to an annual international photographic competition. I have designed various reports to format the results listings in an acceptable manner, making use of group headings and a variety of font sizes and font weights. I...

I've just tried your first solution and it appears to work perfectly. Thanks very much for your rapid assistance. David
