Change Access Ribon

Oh, Fooey (F U I)

"One of the most exciting new developer features that Microsoft Office Access 2007 provides is the ability to customize the Office Fluent User Interface (UI) in your application.
The Office Fluent UI provides a new user model for exposing commands, and application navigation that is more discoverable and easier for users of the application.

You create XML to change the Ribbon, a component of the new Microsoft Office Fluent user interface (UI). You can create customization files in any text editor.

All applications that include the Office Fluent Ribbon use the same extensibility model, so you can reuse the same Office Fluent UI extensibility XML with a minimum of adjustments.
For example, you can reuse the custom XML you create for Access 2007+ in Microsoft Office Excel 2007+, Microsoft Office Word 2007+, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007+, or Microsoft Office Outlook 2007+."

Custom QAT

Access additions

Applications put most of the most-used commands on the Home tab's Ribbon, not everything is there. You may want to add Close, Close All, or Print commands, for example.

In the upper Left corner is the Quick Access Tool bar.

To update the QAT:
Click the down-pointing arrow to the right of the QAT.
Choose any common commands (New, Close, Print, etc.) by checking the option.
