... Loading ribbons using any ADP table

 

Create a new ADP table named e.g.:"Ribbons" with following fields:

ADP Table 

Enter a unique "RibbonName" and the appropriate XML in field "RibbonXML".

 

In a standard module create the new function "LoadRibbons":

Public Function LoadRibbons()
'Load ribbons into the database
On Error GoTo Error1
    Dim strSQL As String
    Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
    Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
    Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
    strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [Ribbons]; "
    ' [Ribbons] has to be replaced by your table name.
   
    cnn.Open CurrentProject.Connection
    rst.Open strSQL, cnn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
    Do Until rst.EOF
        Application.LoadCustomUI _
        rst("RibbonName").Value, rst("RibbonXml").Value
        rst.MoveNext
    Loop
Error1_Exit:
    On Error Resume Next
    rst.Close
    Set rst = Nothing
    cnn.Close
    Set cnn = Nothing
    Exit Function
Error1:
    Select Case Err
        Case 32609
               ' Ribbon already loaded
        Case Else
               MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & _
                       Err.description, vbCritical, _
                      "Error", Err.HelpFile, Err.HelpContext
    End Select
    Resume Error1_Exit
End Function

 

Create a macro named "AutoExec" which will be run when you open the database:

Action:

RunCode

Function Name:

LoadRibbons()

Autoexec-Makro

Re-start the database.

Assign the ribbon for this database:

Ribbon Options"Office Button" / Button "Access-Options" / "Current Database" / "Ribbon and Toolbar Options" / "Ribbon Name:" select the ribbon that should be loaded when you open the database.

 

After another re-start of the database your ribbon will be displayed.
