Remove or Hide File Tab on Custom Ribbon

[Catalina]

In Access 2010 I made a custom ribbon.

The File Tab still gives users access to features that should not be available
to them such as: Compact & Repair, Encrypt etc.

I spent a few hours looking for a solution but found none that works.

It does not seem to be possible to hide the File Tab, but is there a way to hide the options it reveals?

All suggestions will be most welcome.

Have you tried using a runtime version?

Hi Catalina

is possible to clean the entire contents of the File Tab

Add your personalized ribbon, part backstage:

...
</ribbon>
<!-- *** BACKSTAGE ***-->
<backstage>
<button idMso="FileSave" visible="false"/>
<button idMso="SaveObjectAs" visible="false"/>
<button idMso="FileSaveAsCurrentFileFormat" visible="false"/>
<button idMso="FileOpen" visible="false"/>
<button idMso="FileCloseDatabase" visible="false"/>
<tab idMso ="TabInfo" visible="false"/>
<tab idMso ="TabRecent" visible="false"/>
<tab idMso ="TabNew" visible="false"/>
<tab idMso ="TabPrint" visible="false"/>
<tab idMso ="TabShare" visible="false"/>
<tab idMso ="TabHelp" visible="false"/>
<button idMso="ApplicationOptionsDialog" visible="false"/>
<button idMso="FileExit" visible="false"/>
</backstage>
</customUI>

I learned a lot from the videos on this site below:
