This post is an extention to The enduring nature of Access. While showing some images of my applications' ribbons to prove ribbon is far better , flexible and much more easier to communicate with, than traditional menus, I was asked (by jdraw) to show how I do it.
I promised him to set up a simple database during our summer holidays, but today I was free about an hour. So I made a simple database to show how it can be done.
Since I didn't want to high jack that thread, I started a new one.
Mods can delete/move/merge/correct this post if they find it appropriate.
Note: Posting all the contents in one post, makes it so long and hard to understand. I split it into several posts. The title of each post shows what it is about. If you don't need to read that section, simply go to the next one.
The sample database is attached to the last post.I don't know how deep I should go in explaining ribbons and I know most of active members here know much more than me or what is needed, but I think I have to explain several basic points for those who are challenging with ribbons for the first time.
