[AccessD] Form navigation

Hi Jim

Yes, a bit strange, or for 2007 only, or not for Access.
Or perhaps it is not that difficult to do in plain XML when you get used to
it.

 That's the only editor out there that I'm aware of.

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.
