Outlook style navigation

[John Doe]

Does anyone know where to find some code for creating an Outlook-style
left-hand panel navigation scheme that will run in Access 2003? I know
this question isn't very clear but I hope you'll understand what I'm looking
for.

Thank you,

Penn

I have been using the sidebar control from

Hi,
You can try this out. I've used it with VB but not with Access. It's free.
It comes with the source code (if you have VB) and also with the compiled
control (VertMenu.ocx)

Thank you, Steve. This seems to be just what I was looking for.

Thank you very much for this suggestion, Dan. I'm afraid I can't figure out
how to make it work, however. I have just installed Visual Studio 2005 Beta
(because after I installed Office Pro 2003, VS 2003 stopped working,
couldn't be removed and couldn't be fixed). I opened the vertmenu.vbp in
VS8 (2005) and it converted it (to something) but the build failed and now I
don't know what to do.

I guess I'll just stick with the (apparently) simpler XSideBar which already
has an Access version.
