    Hide the Ribbon Hot Key


    I have several users who are going to be encountering Access 2010 for the first time. I did the same thing on my re-entry into the workforce several years ago. It was quite a culture shock. I've found the F11 key very helpful for locating the Navigation Pane and alternately for hiding it. One of the issues these folks will face will be the limited real estate on their laptop screens. I know how to hide the ribbon, but can't seem to find any reference to a keyboard shortcut. Is there a way to toggle the ribbon like F11 toggles the Navigation Pane?

    Atleast you knew it and it still works. I hate when I knew something and It gets taken out!

    I'm updating a very old Access database. Some of the code dates back to the last century and surprisingly still runs.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
