Hi Martin

That looks nice, though Patrick doesn't seem to have updated it for Access
2010.
I dropped him a note to get the current status.

Might be useful and I did some work with Patrick a long time ago on this. He
is very helpful and I would say support would be excellent.

Hi Gustav,

I did a little searching and apparently you can do things with ribbons from
within Access.  These are two sites that look useful:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd548010(v=office.12).aspx

Good Luck!
Dan

Hi all

Does anyone know of a decent editor for these ribbons?

I tried to check out RibbonCreator:

   http://www.ribboncreator2010.de

but this piece of shareware (their own wording) won't run on my decent
machine - it fails with an 0x8002801D error:

System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Subscript out of range
   at Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.VBProjectsClass.Item(Object index)
   at Ribbon2010.basVBE.FindModul(Object strModulname, Object VBEProject)
   at Ribbon2010.Form1.btnSelDatabase_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e)

You would expect some level of support on this but no, this stubborn support
team asks you to first buy a license ... and only suggests to install the
tool in a VM without(!) Access. How far out is that?

But there must be other tools out there. Some, however, are for Excel, Word,
PP only, and some have not been developed further than 2007.
Or can the Office Tools for Visual Studio be used? 

Any suggestions?

You definitely want to go with the Ribbon, but you don't want to proceed
without Albert Kallal's fine Ribbon Class. It makes the task of customizing
and maintaining a complex set of ribbon controls very easy.
Otherwise, the callbacks will really become unmanageable after a large set
is required.
