    Exclamation Locking down the ribbon

    Hi All,

    I have a database I created (Access 2007), and I'm trying to lock down the ribbon. Specifically, I'd like to remove the Database Tools tab entirely, and certain groups in the External Data tab (I'm thinking I can do this by setting the visible property to false in XML) [In my opinion, these should not even be available in MDE files].

    While I can find the MSO IDs of the individual buttons, I seem to be at a loss when searching for the MSO ID of the various groups and various tabs.

    Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knew what Microsoft is calling their tabs, and how I can reference the specific groups in each tab.



    Thanks in advance.

    Here is how I created customized ribbon and QAT http://forums.aspfree.com/microsoft-access-help-18/custom-ribbon-qat-303789.html

    It has links to resources I used to customize my ribbon. It has been a long time since I did this and don't know if it will have the answer you need.

    Actually, this didn't help me much, as I already knew about xml. What I was looking for was a list of MroIDs.

    With that said, I did stumble upon such a list this morning after I resigned myself to having to rebuild my ribbons from scratch.

    So, for my fellow googlers (and any bingers out there), Access Office 2007 xml MroID List hide tab group.
