Hi, I'm climbing the walls by now as I spent hours trying to get something to work which is, apparently, quite easy for others:-)
In Access 2013 I have a newly created db. I made a custom ribbon, which I want to load at startup. I duely made the USysRibbons table; the name of the ribbon does show up under Options.CurrentDB, but the damned thing refuses to show up!
Luckily, after some websearching, I found the setting to display eror messages and this is what I get:
- Line 1, col. 31, error code 0xC00CEE65, undeclared prefix.
Then:
- Line 1, col 71, error code 0x80004005, unknow namespace "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customUI"
etc. (several other errors may follow)
Of course I modified the XML-text; I have a number of lines in USysRibbons now; most of them copied from the web. The above errors are generated by code I found on the Microsoft site (HideTheRibbon). Others use a different namespace (http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui) but the result is always more-or-less the same: starting with the 'undeclared prefix' (at least, I hope that's what is says in English; I'm using a Dutch version); then the error about the namespace and other errors related to that.
I also tried using the xml-code that is 'exported' from a customised ribbon created in Access itself. After deleting the ribbon, re-loading it manually works fine. But as soon as I paste the text into the RibbonXML field of the USysRibbons table and try to load it on startup, I again get the same errors.
I DO hope someone here can help me!
