Export to Excel with Runtime

[poporacer]

I have an Access 2007 program that I put an Export to Excel button in the Quick Access toolbar. When I move the program to a computer using Runtime, the Export button does not show. I have looked through the forum and have not found a solution. I see posts where they talk about making a custom ribbon, but I have one program on the computer with runtime that has the Export to Excel in the Quick Access Toolbar.

Is there something I am missing?

Is there something I am missing?

Maybe so.

The QAT is for the user to personalize for all Access databases on their system. Modifications are stored in the user's profile, not in the database. Changes to the QAT are global to Access and every database it opens.

The wisdom of a custom Ribbon is that the changes are stored inside the database. Since they are inside they database tit will travel with it. so it will be included when others open it.

I view the QAT as hands off by apps. Only the user should change it. I see it as the same as an app that changes your browser setting for the home page/start page or the default search engine.

So, how do I get the Export to Excel button to show up in the second Database?

Thought this sounded very familiar. This is a cross posting.

I will continue with your iriginal post on the subject here:

Sorry if posting to more than one forum is wrong. I just haven't seen the answer I needed... I know what I need is possible because another database (not developed by me) has the functionality I am looking for. I will continue with my research.
Thanks for your help

Read this on cross posting and why you may actually get less rather than more from doing so.
