Access 2010 Runtime and Custom Ribbons

I use access runtime extensively. Most of my clients have one off databases, do not have Access installed and I must rely on Access Runtime. So I am currently working through the conversion of databases built in Access 97, 98, ... 2003 to Access
2010. I (and my clients like the new ribbon UI). I had great hopes that the new ribbon editor in Access 2010 would make my task straight forward. Uncheck the check boxes for the ribbons I don't want the user to see, build a ACCDE/R file and
then would be good to go...But Alas, runtime does not show the custom ribbon built in the full version... so back to the xml. But this time with some help with building the XML file (intended or not ??).
I wanted to duplicate the "Print Preview" and "Home" ribbons in Runtime.
1. Used the custom ribbon tools in Access 2010 (full version), unchecked all ribbons except Print Preview.
2. Exported the customizations
3. Changed the extension to *.xml
4. Opened in VS 2010. Made the required edits (e.g. visible="true", and a couple of changes at the top).
5. Saved the file
6. Copied the xml into the USysRibbons table
7. Selected the new ribbon in the box provided...
8. Now I have the UI I want.. (XML Code attached)
<mso:customUI xmlns:mso="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">
<mso:ribbon startFromScratch="false">
<mso:tabs>
<mso:tab idQ="mso:TabPrintPreviewAccess" visible="true"/>
<mso:tab idQ="mso:TabHomeAccess" visible="true">

<mso:group idQ="mso:GroupRecords"/>
<mso:group idQ="mso:GroupFindAccess"/>
<mso:group idQ="mso:GroupWindowAccess"/>
</mso:tab>
</mso:tabs>
</mso:ribbon>
</mso:customUI>
If anyone knows a more direct "proper" way to get there, please chime in...
I am not saying this is a good way to accomplish the task. However, it appears to work.
Ed Warren Raising sails on masts not masts on sails

First of all thanks for sharing that solution with us, I think it's kind of creative and quite cool on your part.
I suppose quite a few of us had some high hopes that the new built in ribbon customize was going to be a developer's tool for building new ribbons.
As you are demonstrating here, the built in customization system is really more of a end users tool.
I am quite comfortable stating that this tool is not really developers tool for building ribbons from scratch.
However the procedure you've outlined hints that it would not take an access developer a lot of VBA to "cook up" some VBA code that allows one to "shuffle"
the ribbon customization in and out of the USYSRibbons to a file. This would presumably allow one to kind of cobble together a system that would let one pretty much build ribbons with the customizer.
We could even add a new ribbon button to allow this. I think having this setup to push + pull ribbons in and out of the USYSRibbons table would work well
indded, and it based much on what you showen above.
However, I going to share my suggestion and approach anyway.
Just like the query builder for SQL, as a general rule for years I hardly ever look at the SQL code in the SQL view. In fact still even to this day as a general
rule I build my queries using the query builder. And, my view of this process is much the same for the ribbon. Why bother to look at SQL or in this case xml?
So, right from square one just like you (and I) lamented the fact that prior to access 2007 I could build custom menus using the built in tools and not have
to resort to code or reading something to creating those menus.
However at the end of the day, all as I did was take a good part of a day off, and build a couple ribbons that I need. At that point, for the next year
or so all I did was raid those ribbons and use cut and paste to pull that xml to create additional buttons. In fact I've been doing this for so long now, I've actually forgotten pretty much how the original xml even works!
I don't read nor care about the xml very much at all.
In a nutshell what I'm saying is, it's really not that big of a deal to build a few ribbons and then just cut + copy them over and over again. In fact I
actually find this new system significantly superior to the old systems of access menu bar buttons. The problem in the old menu system I could NOT go to three or four previous existing applications and go on an Easter egg hunting raiding party and pull out
a "few" buttons here and there. (The import option is all or nothing, and it not a clean process at all).
With xml, it is simple matter to simply just cut and paste these "parts" them into ONE new ribbon. The key concept here is "parts". In other
words once you get a system in place and get used to doing this, you really never want to go back to using a user interface to build each ribbon up from scratch, or even anything like the old system which while did the job for me for years, but was hard to
use.
So, I learned and found that this development paradigm of using cut and paste and pulling out stuff you need from a base set of ribbons that you have is
really good. In fact, I find it far better then using a graphical interface for building those ribbons.
At the end of the day, there has to be a significant gain that makes the pain worthwhile. So I used access for more then 10 years, and I STILL don't write the
SQL by hand. I would never suggest that you start writing SQL by hand because you can cut and paste the SQL? The whole development model of suggesting to cut+paste SQL really doesn't help, and as a general rule I still suggest one would use the query builder
for building that SQL.
However in the case of building ribbons, I found the exact opposite and reverse here. So I do think it's worth the while to adopt a cut+paste development
model. And I think it's a superior development approach that with great ease allows one to pull JUST ONE button, or part out of a existing ribbon, and you can do it far faster then what I good UI would allow.
Your mileage may vary on the above, but I'm just suggesting that the above approach works well for me, and this is coming from a person that refuses to write
SQL code by hand .
By the way if you are looking for something to help you with menu bar mightation that allows enable and disabled buttons (or hide buttons) on a ribbon,
I have a little ribbon class that I've put together here that allows one to use the old style menu bar syntax to accomplish these things.

Access 2010 Runtime / ACCDE Bug

I have just wasted a day chasing a very silly BUG!
If you install Access2010 Runtime and then try to run an ACCDE database that has a macro that uses Runcode the macro fails!
Verified on 2 different Win XP machines;
An almost blank database with a single macro using RunCode to call a very simple function with just a msgbox function in it results in the error;
"The Expression you entered has a function that Microsoft Access can't find."
The Cure:
Download and install runtime SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26601
Note that Windows Update does not show or offer this update!
Brian, ProcessIT- Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

The simple and basic issue here is that WHEN you deploy compiled applications, you want to match up the version.
If your dev machine has a SP update, then you need to ensure that the target computers also have that update.
This issue does not occur when you use an accDB since the source code is included, and thus an “automatic” re-compile of the code can occur (even with runtime, such an automatic re-compile of code can occur). Thus the binary resulting machine code matches
the version of Access build. (and when I say version - different SP levels are different versions).
So the symptom pointed out here ONLY occurs when source code is not available, and the binary parts are pre-compiled like they are in a accde.
For Access 2013 runtime, the SP updates are included. For the Access 2010 runtime, the sp updates are NOT included. And installing the office SP update will NOT update the 2010 runtime.
Nor will windows update update 2010 runtime. So install of the SP update to Access runtime has to be downloaded and installed. Or the SP update can be “included” in your copy of the 2010 runtime.
In most cases, NOT having windows update or NOT having someone come along and install office SP not touching the runtime is a “preferred” setup since then windows update, or other things will not update Access runtime and NOT mess things up. So near everything
leaves the 2010 runtime alone as it should.
And while I seen problems like this back in Access 2003 (by trying to run a compiled applications with 2000), the simple lesson here is that compiled applications while often preferable do require more caution and effort to match up the edition of the version
of Access the user is running to the SAME edition that will compile + develop the application.
This is thus mostly due to the simple fact that when souce code is removed from the application, then you cannot re-compile the code to a different binary version of Access.

Install Access 2010 Full and Runtime together on one machine?

Hi,
a client at my company has many access database projects. They run mostly fine with Access Runtime. We provide the Apps with a Server 2008 R2 via Terminal Services as RemoteApp. Is there a way to install the Full Access Version parallel to the Runtime? So
if i publish a RemoteApp i just can choose between the two paths for Runtime or Full and provide the AccessApp either with one of both?
AFAIK if i install the full Version of Access 2010, it overwrites the Runtime and uses the same paths as the Runtime used before (something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.exe)
Thanks in advance for your hints,
Rolf

Hi,
Yes, of course you could install the Access 2010 and Access Runtime 2010 in the same machine.As you know the Access Runtime 2010's detail imformation, you could choose to distribute those Access 2010 solutions so that they run without requiring
a full installation.
And the Access 2010 full version is also included in Office 2010, you could choose only install the Access 2010 and change the install path by using OCT.

Access 2010 filter by form problem

I have an Access program with the forms recordset populated by a ado recordset with data from a SQL Sever stored procedure.
Fiter by forms works nicely under Access 2003.
I migrated to Office 2010 and converted my Access program to the 2007 format, recompiled the whole and started to run with Access 2010.
And now I cannot filter by forms anymore.
I can use the new shortcut menu but it never actually filters my data at all on the form.
On the internet I found someone who found out that replacing a dll with the one from Office 2007 does fix this.
And it actually does but surely this cannot be the final solution.
Any one experienced the same behaviour and found a solution.

Hi,
First, I want you to confirm whether the steps of converting Access 2003 to Access 2010 is right:
On the
File tab, click Open.
In the
Open dialog box, select and open the Access 2000 or Access 2002 - 2003 database (.mdb) that you want to convert.
On the
File tab, click Save & Publish, and then, under
Database File Types click Access Database (*.accdb).
Click
Save As.
If any database objects are open when you click
Save As, Access prompts you to close them prior to creating the copy. Click
Yes to make Access close the objects, or click No to cancel the entire process. If needed, Access will also prompt you to save any changes.
In the
Save As dialog box, type a file name in the File name box, and then click
Save.
Access creates the copy of the database, and then opens the copy. Access automatically closes the original database.
Quote from:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/convert-a-database-to-the-accdb-file-format-HA010341552.aspx
Secondly, try to reapply the filter in the Access 2010 to check the issue. Please refer to the “Filter by form” part of the following link to see
the steps:

How to better control Ribbon behavior? - Access 2010

I have some MSAccess 2010 App for which I need highly customizable ribbons.
i.e. sometimes i need to hide some contextualtabs, sometimes a group
within the contextual tabs and so on.
So I decided to use contextual tabs as usual but when i apply the
customizations, the ribbon loses its focus. Not fancy at all!
I could try to place all the forms ribbons groups as a main ribbon group,
but that's not fancy too. I want a tab just for that, or lots of tabs.
I tried using usysribbons table by setting form ribbon to one of its records,
but it turns out that this messes up my ribbon, and i can't invalidate it anymore.
Therefore, I ask, rather than just a piece of advice on how to proceed,
not dismissing any, not at all of course but the essential question here i think it is :
what's with that? what could i read in order to catch up with the OfficeUI details, so I can
take better advantage of it.
p.s.: Could I create office addin using VSTO just to take care of the ribbon?
I count on You guys, anybody to lend a hand?
Thanks in advance!

The best and most simple approach is that in place of attempting to hide and control a bunch of “tabs” is to simply build + design a custom ribbon for each form.
You find that even in a “fairly” complex application, that most forms can have a simple and standard ribbon (with cut/paste, and perhaps something like back button that closes the form).
I use one like this for based curd forms:
Now for those “custom” forms that need buttons and actually do cool things, then I will build a NEW ribbon for the ONE form. Often I find that after doing so, another form might need “simpler” features but some “different” features.
So for example, I built the first ribbon below, and then needed “much” the same options, but SOME different for a different form. In place of MUCH complex code to hide/show the options, I simply re-copied the ribbon.
Here is an example of the two similar ribbons:
The above also means that while I might want to “disable” a few buttons, I not having to deal with multiple tabs etc. In other words, build specific ribbons for a GIVEN form.
The REAL BEAUTY of the above is then if a user switches between two forms, then ZERO code is required for the ribbon to update and show correctly.
I am thus suggesting is DO NOT attempt to create one large complex ribbon with many features for many forms – this will result is HUGE amounts of code and VERY complex code at that.
Worse is you it becomes VERY difficult control what occurs when the user has MORE then one form open and switches between them.
If you specify a ribbon for each form (that is limited to the features for that form), then all of the switching and update and context switching and “display” of the correct ribbon will occur when the user changes forms. (so no coding to change display
of correct ribbon for a given form).
In the above ribbon, you can see some options that apply to the actual option/data on the given form. So the private room option is not orange (not selected), but the invoice rate of Full invoice is selected.
I suppose it is possible that one form “might” need more options then what will fit in one ribbon tab – but that is RATHER in most cases.
It not that difficult to hide/enable/show some buttons on a given ribbon – but trying to control one large ribbon for everything is another story.
I also give some additional code samples and tips on how to “tame” the ribbon in this article of mine here:
http://www.kallal.ca/Ribbon/ribbon.htm
The above includes a working sample in which I show how to hide/enable, and “swap” the icon for a given ribbon option.

How to deploy a Desktop Access 2010 app via Azure and RemoteApp?

I currently sell an Access 2010 app that uses the 2010 Access Runtime for deployment on desktop PCs. I very much would like to make it available over the internet on PC/Mac/iPad using the Azure RemoteApp, if possible. The Access app has a number of supporting
files- it’s not just an Access accdb or accde file. For it to work correctly all the supporting files need to be in folders related to the main accde/accdb fie. Those files are a few other accde files, csv, pdf, and some folders.
Each of my clients (a company) may have 1-15 simultaneous users. On the Desktop Access version, I have a Front End accde installed on each workstation and a single Back End accdb data file installed on a shared drive. Each FE workstation is linked to the
single BE data file. I would need to replicate this somehow on an Azure VM (like perhaps have a designated folder for the BE data file that each user account’s FE is linked to?).
I created an Azure VM (server 2012 R2) and installed the Access Desktop App on it. I can access that full VM with RDP (and see the whole desktop, not just my Access app). What I’m trying to figure out is a way to do this with RemoteApp- can RemoteApp use
my Access 2010 app as an available ‘app’ or does the user need to see the whole VM desktop?
As well, in my Azure portal the ‘RemoteApp’ option is grayed out ‘pending approval’ so I can’t test it.
Any help figuring this out would be great. Thanks-

N8827N
I ended up a great solution for this. I'm using 3 Windows Server 2012 R2 VMs to run it as a RemoteApp program. It's set up sort of like this:
VM 1: RD Broker
VM 2: Active Directory (where Users/Groups are created)
VM 3: AppServer (where the Access app is actually located and run on- the VM2/Active Directory 'talks' to the AppServer to create/validate users but all the action happens on VM3).
RemoteApp requires Windows Server 2012 so I don't think it'll work with Server 2008. The great thing about RemoteApp is it opens the Access 2010 Front End in a unique window, all on its own. The user doesn't need to see the Desktop of the server- they just
see the Access Navigation Form(s).
In brief, on the VM3/AppServer I have a unique folder for the backend Access data file and a User Account (created in the VM2 Active Directory) for each user with the frontend Access file in C/Users/Username/AppData.
RemoteApp- when the user logs in via the RemoteApp app- points to that specific user profile's frontend Access db in that location and opens it in its own window on their host computer. And since each FE is linked to a common BE data file everyone uses the
same data, just like in a regular LAN Server FE/BE setup.
It required some changes in the Access app to deal with it- uploading images and files, emailing straight from the app, etc but it was worth it. I also had to pay a development company to set up the 2012 R2 Servers, as I didn't know the details of how to
do that myself. But I'm managing the setup, ongoing, and it's not so hard to do.
So now my customers can run the Access app on a PC, Mac, or iPad pretty much anywhere. Excellent way to extend an Access application..

How to handle and manage a multi Database access in runtime with LCDS?

Hello there
I got several customer working with the same application and I wonder how, with LCDS, to manage in a runtime a multi dataBase access; without creating a configuration "mxl" file in
the folder catalina for each database.
Indeed, each customer have their own dataBase, and so far, I did not find out how to avoid creating a config xml file in catalina for every single database; which force me to create as well for each customer a folder application, since the name of the config file in catalina require a folder application to be ran under tomcat....
Thus, my question is :
Is there anyway to create only one configuration mxl file in catalina (in the server side) and then from the client side (application) let the user select its environment (meaning its database) to run the application.... this technic can be also used for multi database environment such as : Dev / Test / Prod environment (or database) where the same application can access to.
Please if any one have an idea or already delt with; just let me know, because I'm entering in a bootle neck and the situation is getting serioulsy critical....

Hello Ulrich,
with compact and repair I mean the MSAccess function "Compact and Repair".
Please follow the link below for more details:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/compact-and-repair-an-access-file-HP005187449.aspx
Normally you can execute this function directly in Access or with the Windows ODBC Data Sources Administrator => "Control Panel" => "Administrative Tools" => "Data Sources (ODBC)"...
I want to execute this function via cvi code and not by hand ;-).
Thank you for your support.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!
lennydas

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

I am running
Windows 7 64 bit
Access 2010 32 bit
Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

Acrobat X Pro converting some Access 2010 reports to black and white

Hi! My workstation is running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit SP1, Office 2010 Professional 32-bit and Adobe Acrobat X Pro (10.1.13).
My problem is with MS Access 2010 -- I have a query that pumps out reports from a Oracle Database.
The result of this query is 5 Reports - A, B, C, D, and E. All Five Reports, when viewed in Access are in color (also verified this with Print Preview).
When I convert these 5 reports to PDF with the Acrobat Toolbar "Convert Multiple Reports" button within Access, Reports D and E turn to monochrome/grayscale.
Reports A, B, and C are still in color.
If I use the Export function in Access "PDF or XPS" these reports save to color.
If I use the Create PDF button on the Acrobat Toolbar, these reports save to color.
I have a workaround but would like to utilize the Convert Multiple Reports button, rather than convert these reports one by one.
And unfortunately, Acrobat XI Pro isn't supported in Access 2010 -- the Acrobat Toolbar will not appear in Access.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Access 2010 and CR XI

I have a legacy Access ADP app originally developed in Access 2000, and has since been upgraded to Access 2002 and subsequently Access 2003. The app references CR XI RDC in order to print report. It has worked for years until we started running the ADP app in Access 2010 (32 bit). The ADP app crashes whenever I call RDC's PrintOut method. The code has not changed one bit - except it is running in Access 2010. We tried the app in different compatibility mode, on different operating systems (XP, Win7 and Win Server 2008) and the result is exactly the same - it crashes as soon as it calls PrintOut method.
One peculiar aspect of it is that the crash occurs for reports that references tables directly whereas it works with reports created based on stored proc.
I suspect it might have something to do with the different DLLs that deals with table based reports vs stored proc based report.
Any suggestions or ideas here?

Hello Calvin
The last version of CR that incouded the RDC was 11.5 (XI R2). So, one idea would be to get to CR XI R2. See this blog on how to.
Now, this still does not give you any guarantee that you will get the app to connect to Access 2010 as CR XI R2 would not be forward compatible... E.g.; according to the Supported Platforms documentation for CR XI R2, Access 2010 is not supported.
If CR XI R2 SP6 does not solve the issue, your only option is to port the app to CR 2008, or CRVS2010 and use the CR SDK for VS .NET.
