Thanks to all who pointed me in the right direction. I'm following the Access Jitsu article on creating a custom ribbon.
Created USysRibbons table. Created simple XML in Visual Studio 15. No syntax errors so far.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="false">
<tabs>
<tab id="menu1" label="Menu">
<group id="enter1" label="Enter">
<button id="donors1" label="Donors and Donations" size="large" supertip="Enter Donors and Donations"/>
</group>
<group id="validate1" label="Validate">
<button id="addresses1" label="Addresses" size="large" supertip="Validate Donor Addresses"/>
<button id="emails1" label="Emails" size="large" supertip="Validate Donor Emails"/>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
Pasted that code into the USysRibbons table, and when restarting Access, I get the following error.
Code:
Error found in Custom UI XML of "<database name here>"
Line: 3
Column: 3
Error Code 0x80004005
Text is not allowed in the context of element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui}ribbon' according to DTD/Schema.
This error appears multiple times, each pointing to a different line number and column.
I basically just copied the sample XML from the Access Jitsu article, then changed some of the IDs.
Any idea what is going wrong? Thanks so much...
