Add button to menu - when in accdr mode

[mauni]

Hi

I am exporting a ready-to-install Access .accdr file as a packaged solution (with developer extension).

The .accdr file when opened with access runtime (no full access installed) has only very few buttons in the ribbon.

I want to add a "Refresh all" button into the ribbon, is this possible?

For runtime, you need to provide your own ribbons. If you want an easy way to do that, here's a free tool that will let you create your own ribbon(s):

I was able to find easier solution:

Open the file first in accdb mode in access. Then:

1) click "customize quick access toolbar"

2) select from right drop down menu -> For : <yourdatabasefilename>

3) select items you want, for example "refresh all"

4) these items now appear in top menu, when running in accdr mode


Thanks for your thoughts anyway,
