[AccessD] custom toolbar

Anita:

I'm going to give it a go as soon as I get my VMs set up.  I've got 2010 and
2007.  But the one for 2013, I had to start with W7 and although I have 2013
loaded in it, I can't figure out how to get it networked so it can share the
folders on my host C drive.

Hey - anybody know how to get a Virtual Box VM to see my host drive? In
settings-->network the Enable Network Adapter is grayed out. :(

TIA

Rocky

Rocky,
I have a couple of apps still out there being run in a mixture of A2003 and
A2010  environments. I have retained the Access 2003 toolbars throughout the
applications (i.e. the ribbon is nowhere in sight).

As far as I remember the trick was setting the toolbar options while in
Access 2013 (Select a custom menu bar & don't allow full menus) and that
would carry over to any subsequent versions. You would need a 'main' custom
toolbar for this to work - my apps only have a close button on the main
toolbar and all other toolbars attached to reports and forms show up as
expected.

Here is something about toolbars that you might find handy.

These days I only cater for later versions of Access and I've given up on
toolbars.  I just minimize/maximize the ribbon via code when I need to.

Dear List:
 
I made a custom toolbar with one button - a close button - for all the
reports in preview mode in a 2003 app.  Works fine in 2003, But the toolbar
doesn't show when running the app in 2007 or 2010. 
 
But the target user for this app might be running 2003,7, or 10.  So the
problem is to find a really user stupid/foolproof way to close the reports
that are previewed.  On the client's machine - running 2007 - the there's
not even control box with an x to close the report although it shows in
2003.  
 
This is an mdb BTW but when deployed it'll be an mde.
 
Is there some foolproof, intuitive way to be sure you can close a report
being previewed?
