Lost Toolbar during splitting

[Howard]

Hi!
I split my database into backend (tables) and application
(queries,forms,reports,etc). When I imported the application into a new blank
database, I lost my toolbar which I created. I don't seem to be able to copy
it from the original database. How do I retrieve this toolbar?

toolbars are machine specific ie they are not part of the
file/database and don't copy over. you will have to create
the toolbar again on each machine the database resides.
you could create a macro to create the toolbar as start up.

That is only true of built-in toolbars. Custom toolbars are stored in the
application file and should stay with it when distributed.

To the OP: During the import you have to hit the [Options] button and
indicate that you want toolbars/menubars included in the import.

ummm ...... that's not true; toolbars can be copied from one database to
another. Go to File - Get External Data - Import. A Import Objects dialog
appears. Click on Options. Check Menus & Toolbars and click OK. The
functions that drive the toolbar will have to be copied over separately.
