Ribbon error following previous versions of my application

[Jess]

I have been working on an access database for while. I recently decided to
edit the ribbon in order to add a new button (a spell check tool). I just
added a few lines to the USysRibbons table. I did not do anything else. The
button worked as expected for a while. Something eventually went wrong for
some reason and I get the below error.

However previous versions of my database (developed just before I edited the
ribbon and consequently the USysRibbons table) no longer work. It looks that
THIS ERROR IS FOLLOWING PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF MY DATABASE.

The error I get is as follows:

Error found in Custom UI XML of :C:\Documents and
Settings\sssssss\desktop\filename.mdbâ€:

Line:10
Column:46
Error Code 0x80004005
Element ‘{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui}command’ is
unexpected according to content model of parent element
‘{http://schemas.microsort.com/office/2006/01customui}group’

If I click on “Ok to all†the error no longer shows for that particular part
of my application until I close and reopen access.

Below are the ribbons I have. These same ribbons worked great until I
eventually edited them –the unedited version is shown.

I have found this website to be helpful in understanding how to write xml
for custom ribbons.
