[AccessD] Where do they store the toolbar info

Hi John:

I am not sure whether this is the case but when ever I have had some custom
tool bars, all have been implemented through macros. (The only place in
which I use those things.) There is a way to do in A2000 plus, through a
'command' code but I have never bothered to researched it myself.

HTH

Subject: [AccessD] Where do they store the toolbar info


I am going through a database I inherited trying to make the thing look and
act consistent.  One thing that I am running across is that some forms have
toolbars on such as "web design", "Form view" etc.  If you go to design view
/ properties / others, there is no toolbar in any of the toolbar properties
on this tab.

This is something that has always puzzled me and I never really ever figured
out.  This (what toolbars are being displayed) is "context sensitive", i.e.
if you click in the menu at the top of a form while in view mode (not design
view) and select a toolbar from the menu that appears, then close the form,
the form "retains" that toolbar as it opens next time.

That is simply nuts to me, who wants the form design toolbar viewable to the
user just because you used it yourself?

Anyway, where the ^%*&^%(*^) is this stuff stored?  Does anyone have code to
go find and get rid of these things throughout an application (all forms).
I'm currently opening every form and if they have any of these menus, right
clicking on the top, unselecting the menu and saving (closing) the form
which gets rid of it... until the next time it is closed with one of these
menus selected.

Help!!!
