Solved Custom Ribbon Icons

[MattBaldry]

Has anyone ever had any luck with method 3 in the below link?

AccessMVP | Custom Ribbon Icons

accessmvp.com

I have tried but cannot get my images to appear. The Get_Image part just doesn't work for me

Hi Matt. Are you saying the demo doesn't work for you?

 

[arnelgp]

do you have x64 mso?

The demo works fine, but the instructions on the page do not.

do you have x64 mso?

I am not sure, but we use 32-bit access on the clients here.

As a new method, has anyone got a working module to call ribbon icons from the database folder?

I have figured out how to distribute my icons with the app into a folder, but have been unable to find working code to call these images up.

Hi Matt. Isn't that option 1 in the link you posted earlier?

there is a table here that you save you custom icons.

Thanks Arnelgp,

I shall take a look into this one.

I have managed to get this fixed by using the example below.

Ribbon Class for Office 2007

This has been bugging me for ages as I don't like picking imageMso's for my ribbons as they don't always suit. Now I can use anything I like

These icons are so much better than the mso list

problem with External icons is that they can be accidentally deleted from the folder.

I did fear this, but I have created a desktop shortcut to a batch file which copies the FE and all images on every load. This also means when I updated the FE I only have to put it into the network location and the users always have the latest version.

The files on the server are read only for everyone else so only I can edit/delete them.

Ideally I would like them stored in a table, but I am happy with this for now.
