I have to disagree. Perhaps if we'd all been weaned on Macs, we'd like it, but then I never liked the Mac's "intuitive" UI either. The ribbon is the next logical step from personalized menus, which I also hated. With the kind of confusion personalized menus tended to cause, you'd think they would have thought long and hard before dumping the ribbon on us, but I doubt that they did. Now you see it, now you don't is great for stage magicians but not for software developers. ==========I don't care for personalized menus either. As for the developer issue -- as much as we all love Access as a developer's tool, the truth is, MS doesn't market it that way. Love it or hate it, we're kind of stuck with it. As a developer, why don't you like the ribbon -- how is it impacting your work in a negative way? Susan H.
