HI, I'm new to access and I created a new custom ribbon in Access 2016 but it will not display. I create the USysRibbons table and added the following xml code: But when I add the Ribbon Name and restart the DB the new ribbon does not display and I don't get any errors. I did turn on Show add-in user interface errors.

<customUI xmlns=>
<ribbon startFromScratch="false">
<tabs>
<tab id="dbCustomTab" label="CopyRight Reports" visible="true">
<group id="dbCustomGroup" label="CopyRight Reports">
<button id="RunMyMacro" label="Run My Macro" onAction="macCostReport"/>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>

Hello and welcome to AWF

Creating ribbons isn't easy even for experienced Access users unless you do it regularly.

Suggest you download a ribbon creator utility such as that Gunter Avenius
Its available in both free and paid for versions

Where do you set "Show add-in user interface errors" - google says go to options then advanced. I can't find advanced

Found it. In 2010 and 2016 it's in Options-> Client Settings
