Question Does Access 2007 ribbons support a combo box?

[Magster]

I have one combo box that I allow a user to select a value and I create a report based on this value.

I don't like to have a form displayed with just a combo box, so I was wondering, does Access 2007 limited ribbon capability support a combo box in the ribbon?

Thanks to anyone who answers...

Yes.

Hi Lagbolt,

Thanks - I found that out after I posted it - and I really didn't mention in my first post that I want the combo box to be dynamic from a table and not a hard coded list.

I've found postings thru google, but not a good example of how it looks and how the table is connected to it and not to mention how to capture the value selected.

Are you aware of any good examples out there?

Thanks

There's a good series of articles starting here on how to customize the ribbon and load custom content using callbacks. This article is the first of three.

Hi Lagbolt,

I found those articles too, but they didn't help me much because I really need to see real-life examples with code. I found some great help on this site: http://www.accessribbon.de/en/?Downloads

The site has great database examples and I found one there that uses not only combo boxes in the ribbon, but galleries too all populated with tables and not lists. The examples show how the data can be updated and the ribbon shows the updates - one simple command.

I solved my issue in just about an hour with this help. Check it out.
