Toolbars in runtime mode

[Arthur Livermor]

I'm working on a project which needs to allow the user to select fonts, fontsizes, fontcolor, etc. I've created a custom toolbar which works great until I run the program with the /runtime option. In the runtime mode the toolbar appears grayed and disabled.

How do I enable the toolbar in the runtime mode?

Any help would be great.

Access runtime has certain limitations and can not do everything that a full Access program can. It is a "watered-down" version of Access.

Custom toolbars may be one of those limitations.

That's what I think is happening. I've tried enabling the toolbar controls when it's running and it doesn't change.

Is there another way to select fonts that doesn't use toolbars?

It is not the custom toolbars that are the problem. You MUST use custom toolbars to do many things when running with the Access runtime. The problem is that the Access runtime will not alow your application to make any design changes to your objects.

That might be right. But the runtime allows changes to textbox and button font properties using VBA code. Why is the toolbar font selection different?
