Question menubar versus ribbon

[genesis]

I study ms access 2007 but I find it difficult to use of creating menubar. Unlike previous version I can easily create menubar.

Isnt Access 2007 have menubar instead of ribbon? Why did MS change it to ribbon?

No, you can't create a menubar in Access 2007. You can create a ribbon, or use a free tool to do so.

Nope, it has ribbon and the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar). And they changed it to the ribbon because they believed, based on their "studies" that it was a good design change. However, it seems they left a lot of users out of the decision process. I, personally, like it but there are a lot of others who don't.

In Access 2010 it gets better as you will have the ability to use a new feature for modifying the existing ribbons and then also access that via code.
