access thread: Copying/Editing a Toolbar in Access
Message #1 by amy.bender@p... on Wed, 22 Jan 2003 18:16:23

I'm doing some work for someone and the previously created database I'm
working on has a special toolbar.
The previous programmer put in code for the form's OnCurrent event to show
or hide certain menu items. Unfortunately this programmer didn't document
very well.
How can I show all of the toolbar's items? (When I start up the database
certain items are already hidden and I only see them when going to certain
records on the main form)
Or can I copy the toolbar from the old copy of the database to the newer
one?
(I mistakenly deleted on toolbar item and it's messed the toolbar up and
without documentation, it's makig it difficult to reset back. Ack!!)
Thanks!!
Amy

You could put into the form load event / form current event something like
application.commandbars("&File").enable or
application.commandbars("&File").visible etc. I doubt the person would
have disabled them. There is a lot of documentation on VBA commandbars.
You can also set menu actions to fire functions, subs and macros. However,
if it is an MDE file, then basically, you are stuffed. If you do a search
on the internet for j-walk commandbars then you should find a very useful
bit of excel code that can be modified for Access.
