[AccessD] ...table driven command/menu bar interface needed

So odd, because I'm using the treeview on 64 bit machines all the time!

...afaik the office 12/14 object models no longer let you build
commandbar 
menus from the developer interface ...you have to do it through vba
...as 
for 2010, it appears there is now LIMITED customization of the ribbon 
interface available that will allow us to achieve "something" similar to
the 
commandbars ...so if I go that route, turning the ribbon off isn't an
option 
...it appears that the minimum I can achieve through that is a two row 
interface, one for the tabs and one for the commands ...and there appear
to 
be severe limitations on the command flexibility ...right now, I'm 
testing/debugging a table driven command bar menu builder that should
work 
in both A2k3 and A2010 ...we'll see if it works ...but then I'm afraid 
they'll deprecate the whole command bar object in the next version
...the 
@#$%^&%^'s running Office Development appear to have their careers
invested 
in the ribbon and the Access Development team are having to walk
carefully 
around it ...now I'm faced with an entire user interface built around
the 32 
bit MSCOMMctl.ocx treeview that simply won't work in Office 2010 64bit 
because MS refuses to upgrade the common controls to 64bit.

...am I feeling a bit pissed on? ...you bet, like a tree root in a dog
park!
