customize an Access toolbar to run macros

[Wendy Farkas]

Instead of, or in addition to a Switchboard, I'd like to create a custom
menu/toolbar to run a database's macros. Possible to do?

 

[Van T. Dinh]

Yes.

Create your Custom MenuBar/ToolBar and assign it to be the MenuBar / ToolBar
for the Switchboard Form.

A custom menu bar can run code, run macros, and even launch forms etc.

(most of my menu items run code).

If are looking for a sample database with some custom menus, try downloading
the 3rd example here:

(the "interface" hidden is the one you want)

Thanks Van. Can you point me to info about how to customize the menu/toolbar?
The only stuff I found is how to customize a toolbar using existing buttons.

 

[Wendy Farkas]

I played around with the Toolbars menu and finally figured out how to add the
object to the customized toolbar I had created. I hadn't scrolled far enough
down the categories list to find the forms, queries, etc.

Thanks y'all.

And Albert, I love your examples - so inspirational!
