I am philosophically opposed to disabling "Show All Commands" in Options, because i believe organizations should have a non-hierarchical culture of pervasive trust and transparency that gives every user full opportunity to learn and innovate, and I am also really lazy. :)

Nevertheless! my client has a DB with a Custom ribbon that disables everything but the Home tab. However this kind of cripples the users when it comes to a Pivot form they have - as the Design tab is hidden, they can't add new fields or export to Excel or anything. So they need it enabled while having all the others disabled. I was wondering if anyone's ever accomplished something like this before? I don't have much experience writing custom ribbons, and some ideas or maybe an example of something that explicitly enables the Pivot form Design tab.

I attached a screenshot that maybe explains what I'm looking for a bit clearer (NOT the custom ribbon.) Also here's the XML code for the current custom ribbon, the one that disables everything and I am hoping to modify:

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">

<commands>

<command idMso="FileNewDatabase" enabled="false"/>

<command idMso="FileCloseDatabase" enabled="false"/>

<command idMso="ApplicationOptionsDialog" enabled="false"/>

<command idMso="FileExit" enabled="false"/>

</commands>

</customUI>
