Ribbon Buttons Missing

[PleasantB]

I created a Ribbon for my application, with the following XML:

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
  <ribbon startFromScratch="true">
    <tabs>
      <tab id="dbCustomTab" label="Lone Mountain" visible="true">
        <group id="dbCustomGroup" label=" ">
          <button idMso="PrintDialogAccess" size="large" label="Print" enabled="true"/>
          <button idMso="FileSendAsAttachment" size="large" label="Email" enabled="true"/>
          <button idMso="ExportExcel" size="large" label="Excel" enabled="true"/>
          <button idMso="ExportWord" size="large" label="Word" enabled="true"/>
          <button idMso="FileExit" size="large" label="Exit" enabled="true"/>
        </group>
      </tab>
    </tabs>
  </ribbon>
</customUI>

However, only the "Print" and "Exit" buttons are shown.
I am creating this ribbon, as part of an A2K3 upgrade, to replace this toolbar.

How can I solve this issue? Thanks in advance.

I copied your code and added it to a ribbon test db I have and I get 4 greyed out buttons - Print, Email, Word and Excel. Did you add any of these after the print and exit button code was already established? If so, maybe you didn't close and reopen or do a compact/repair?

The OP stated he/she is doing this 'as part of an A2K3 upgrade' i.e. 2007 or later

Are you aware that these items are part of existing ribbons such as External Data?

That's a useful link in your deleted post. Is it OK if I restore the post?

Of course. why not?
I thought it's irrelevant and deleted it. If you think it may be useful, restore it please.

Restored it.

Thank you for all of your responses.

Micron: I honestly can't remember whether I progressively added the buttons or not. However, I have both closed and reopened and executed a compact/repair to no avail. I even tried creating a new row in USysRibbons in case the original was stale or something.

arnelgp: I am using Microsoft Access for Office 365 version 1902. I was simply stating that the original database was developed using Microsoft Access 2003, for additional context.

isladogs: Although these commands are on other ribbons, the client desires having a single ribbon tab with these specifics commands, just as they had a single toolbar with them in Access 2003.

 

[arnelgp]

did you make it work?

The "Allow Full Menus" option under Current Database -> Ribbon and Toolbar Options was unchecked.
After enabling this option, the missing ribbon items appeared!

 

[arnelgp]

check this one.
