Rocky, My network skills are non-existent - sorry. I spotted an error in my email - where I said Access 2013 I meant 2003. My typing is not up to speed yet as I've just had my right hand operated on for carpal tunnel syndrome after suffering for 10 years (I'm known as THE procrastinator in and around my neighbourhood). My fingers feel like oversized sausages on fire, but hey, at least I can sleep now.

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 -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Anita Smith Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 5:12 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] custom toolbar 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. http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/access-help/use-the-custom-toolbars-and-st artup-settings-from-earlier-versions-of-access-HA010342090.aspx 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.

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?
