Converting 2003 menus to 2007/2010
in [General]
|
From: Lars Brownies on 25 Apr 2010 01:39 In A2003 I've created lots of custom menus linked to VBA functions. When converting such apps to A2007/A2010 how easy/hard will it be to convert those menus to the ribbon functionality without using third party add-ons? Thanks, Lars

This change is one of the most disruptive features of the 2007 release if you're a heavy custom menu user! See http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html for some of the major changes in this release. -- John W. Vinson [MVP]

Lars, Please tell me what code you have behind your A2003 menus or give me a reference to a book about this method. I have seen one app that is enabled this way but I didn't look at the code. In Access 2007, I have grabbed images from the Net and added code to them to open forms. This is not what you want to do but it works for me. Thanks.
