Access 2010 QAT and Custom Ribbon
Quick Access Toolbar not displayed

Good morning,

I have successfully created an adxRibbonTab and disabled the built-in Access 2010 ribbon. I've also created an adxRibbonQuickAccessToolbar object and set its "Ribbons" property to "AccessDatabase." However, it does not display from inside Access. Following is the XML in my USysRibbons table: 


<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
    <ribbon startFromScratch="true">
        <tabs>
            <tab id="TabHomeAccess" visible="false"/>
        </tabs>
    </ribbon>
</customUI>


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul,

Are you saying that controls you add to the QAT show correctly on a new blank database?

Please check if the following project adds a button to the QAT and that button is shown for that database:

Andrei,

My ribbon shows up, but my QAT does not.

I downloaded, built and registered your solution and it DOES display correctly. I compared the properties of my QAT and yours and they appear to be identical.

Does the fact that I have the QAT, BackstageView and RibbonTabs in the same solution cause the problem?

Thanks,
Paul

Please send me InitializeComponent from your add-in module to the support email address, you can find it in readme.txt. Please make sure your email contains a link to this topic.

Hi Paul,

In your project, you need to set the StartFromScratch property of the add-in module as follows: 

this.StartFromScratch = AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons.msrAccessDatabase;
