General :: Access 2007 Ribbon XML Syntax
Mar 25, 2014I am upgrading an Access 2000 system to 2007 and replacing user toolbars with Ribbons.I have a strange parsing error that I think is not my error.
I have placed the following control into a group:
<control idMso="GroupPrintPreviewClosePreview" label="Close Preview" enabled="true"/> and "the system" rejects it with Error Code 0x80004005 Element <group> is not expected in <group>I
t turns out that it is finding the word Group within the double quotes and interpretting is at part of the XML syntax.
Change to another idMSO and the problem goes away. Same happened with another control that had the word Group in the id.

Utility.mda
Nov 17, 2007I have a small problem and think I have found the answer but still would like some info on it. I have a DB that was created in Access XP, One of the bosses upgrades to Office 07 full version, and only has Access 07 on his machine. The DB would not open for him..... I noticed the reference "Missing" to "Utility" Now when I open it on my laptop it's fine.... I have Office 03, Access 03 and Access 07. So I opened an old sample DB of something I found and I got the same reference error.... As it shows the path I found the "Utility.mda" and set the reference. From my searching it sounds like this "Utility.mda" was something on older versions but now is not on Office 07.... So what exactly was the "Utility.mda" what did it do, and why is it now gone???Thanks

May 1, 2006Hi,
im trying to fix an access program on a computer for a friend.
I have re-installed the progam and access 2000 runtime perfectly but several errors are stopping the program running. On my computer i have carried out the exact same installation procedure and it works fine. I am therefore thinking that there must be some sort of problem with his computer config.
After quite a bit of trial and error i have found the following.
In the directory of the program there exists a file called 'UTILITY', which says it is a type 'Microsoft Access Add-In'. What exactly could this file be for? It consists of several modules and tables which seem to relevant to the program. On my computer i can go into the utility file and look at the tables ok.
On the problem computer though i can get into the file but when i try to open the tables i get an error that just says 'Unknown'.
Also after a while access then completely crashes and wants to send a report to microsoft.
Also the program has worked perfectly up until lately but no idea why this has changed.
Thanks

How Can I Tell If FE Is Corrupted? Error With JET Utility.
Apr 12, 2006The FE of my database has been crashing during the last week and there have been a few other problems. I got errors saying that the BE was an 'unrecognised format'. I remember getting a 'not a valid bookmark' error also.
Another odd thing that was happening - when I put breakpoints in my code it was not breaking and stepping through it. It was like they weren't there. I realise now that editing the code while it was in break mode may have caused problems.
I didn't realise these issues were signs of corruption (until I started reading up on the subject and searching this forum) so have no idea when it started or what could be corrupt.
I used the compact and repair facility and it seemed to work fine. I can open all the forms and reports. I also decompiled the FE and it hasn't crashed since but I don't know if the problem is completly solved. From what I've read the problem could get much worse if I don't deal with it now.
The reason that I think that there may still be a problem is teh fact that the JEt compact utility will not work. I just get an error saying 'Error compacting database' straight away.
Is there a way to tell if something is corrupt or am I worring unnecessarily?
How To Track Utility Bills???
Jan 24, 2007I'm interested in tracking monthly utility bills....monthly charges, units/volumes, costs per unit and so on, by monthly date. Would I be OK using a single table for my data, since it only involves gas, electric and water each month? How would I chart the data, so I could see trends (i.e., cost per volume, etc.)
Are there any sample projects out there that I might be able to adapt to what I'm interested in?
I'd be most appreciative if anyone has a comment, idea or suggestion. Thanks in advance!!
Utility To Search For Tables?
Dec 14, 2005Hi,
Totally new to access and was wondering if there is a way to search all queries, forms, macros, etc for references to a particular table. For instance, I am adding keys to some existing tables that do not have keys and want to test all the forms where that table is used.
Its a big database and going through form by form will take a long time.
Thanks,

Question About Auto FE Update Utility
Dec 28, 2006Hello,
I have added this to my database but dont see how it would be used. I have a shortcut people use to access the database which ties in my workgroup file infomation so that they can open it.
Now when I send the MDE file to people they get the "dont have permission" typical response.
Now if people are goin to use the shortcut to the either my .mdb or .mde then couldnt I just make adjustments to those and then replace the file on the shared network?
Am I missing something or not seeing how this would be useful or needed?
Thanks for any insight.

Access 2007 Crashes On Excel 2007 Import
Mar 21, 2008On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
I have turned off DEP.
How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?
Thanks

Ribbon Bar Not Loading Correctly
Nov 13, 2007Hi
I am trying to get a blank ribbon to be in place when a user opens my application. I have an Adp linked to SQL Server. If I create a table in SQL Server named ribbons and have the app read the data in that table in the AutoExec macro (this runs the code that reads the data) then assign the new ribbon to Application.LoadCustomUI RS("RibbonName").Value, RS("RibbonXml").Value it works and the blank ribbon is displayed. The problem is that this is no use because if the adp is not connected to the database on startup it causes an error as no connection has been established.
Instead I have put exactly the same xml file into a module but this does not have the same affect even though I call the same Application.LoadCustomUI method. I havent really done anything different except change how the xml is found. The problem with this method is it just pops the new ribbon into the list of available ribbons so then the user would have to choose the ribbon, shut down and restart, that is no use.
Has anybody got any idea what can be done about this? I will post the code below.
Thank you for any advice on what can be done.
Paul
First method (which works but is no good for distributing the app)
Autoexec calls the following
Public Function LoadRibbons()
Dim RS As Recordset
Set RS = CurrentProject.Connection.Execute("SELECT Ribbons.RibbonName, Ribbons.RibbonXML FROM RIBBONS")
If Not RS.BOF Then
Application.LoadCustomUI RS("RibbonName").Value, RS("RibbonXml").Value
End If
RS.Close
Set RS = Nothing
End Function
but using the following and calling it in autoexec just puts the ribbon in the list and doesnt use it
Function CreateRibbon()
Dim xml As String
xml = _
"<customUI xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"">" & vbCrLf & _
" <ribbon startFromScratch=""true"">" & vbCrLf & _
" <officeMenu>" & vbCrLf & _
" <button idMso=""FileCompactAndRepairDatabase"" visible=""false""/>" & vbCrLf & _
" <button idMso=""FileOpenDatabase"" visible=""false""/>" & vbCrLf & _
" <button idMso=""FileNewDatabase"" visible=""false""/>" & vbCrLf & _
" <splitButton idMso=""FileSaveAsMenuAccess"" visible=""false""/>" & vbCrLf & _
" </officeMenu>" & vbCrLf & _
" </ribbon>" & vbCrLf & _
"</customUI>"
Application.LoadCustomUI "BlankRibbon", xml
End Function
Modules & VBA :: Ribbon Won't Hide
Mar 12, 2014There seems to be some inconsistency in controlling the ribbons in Access 2013.I have managed to use the USysRibbons custom table and XLM to hide the ribbon in one app, but when I set the same config up in another db's the ribbon wont hide.
I've then made an empty db and tried in this and it still wont hide.What are the "current db" setting that must be set to make the ribbon hide?
