How to apply customized ribbons on a form in Access 2010

[mlai08]

After upgraded to 2010 from 2003, I was unable to modify customer menu and tool bars on database created in older Access version.

I searched the web and found a possible solution to use customerized ribbons at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb224579(v=office.12).aspx but am confused on how to create a module in the database with a procedure that calls the LoadCustomUI method, passing in the name of the Ribbon and the XML customization markup. I did set up a LoadRibbons public function.

Does anyone know how to make this work or has a easier way to apply customized ribbons to a specific form. I have already created the ribbon under Options/Customize Ribbons.

Thanks

Hi Ari,

I have set up the UsysRibbons table and entered the name of the ribbon and XML codes from a customer ribbon I created and export in Access to the default .exportedUI file. I can see and select the ribbon name from the form but I can not make it to work.

The question is how to load the ribbon when the database is opened.
