MS Access Forum / General 2 / January 2008Access 2007 interface, modifications?
Hi, I'm just learning Access (using 2007) and one thing that troubles me a bit (aside from learning sub-queries) is "menu-system" in Access. In fact, even if I use a "custom menu, with sub-groups" it feels cluttered. 1. One thing that would really help would be if I could use more than 1 level in menu, that is, a second or even third would allow me to hide a lot of objects (tables, queries and forms). Does anyone know if that's doable? 2. If anyone of you has some other tips on how to make the working (developer) interface more efficient I'm all ears! :> Kindly, Mikael Sweden Don't you like the new Ribbon? -Tom. >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >Mikael >Sweden I do. But I was referring to the "object menu" (where tables, queries, reports are stored). This is 1 level menu (with the option to group). Would be nice if to could be modified to a 2nd level or 3 rd level clickable menu... > Don't you like the new Ribbon? > -Tom. [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >Mikael > >Sweden Ahh, THAT menu. Yes, there is a lot to be desired here. A2007 does a better job with grouping like items than previous (Sort by Category > Tables and related views). You can also create your own groups. If you REALLY wanted to, I guess you could create your own add-in that would be able to present the db objects in a treeview or other display of your choice. -Tom. >I do. > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> >Mikael >> >Sweden Strange that Microsoft didn't us a more useful menu, I mean, a full fledged database has LOTS of objects and right now I cannot see a way out from my "cluttered" menu. Anyhow, thanks for your input! //Mikael > Ahh, THAT menu. Yes, there is a lot to be desired here.

The boys and girls on the other side of campus - you know the ones working on a full fledged database named SQL Server, the ones we never share ideas with because we fear what's not invented here - can take an example from that. Their filter option stinks. -Tom. >Strange that Microsoft didn't us a more useful menu, I mean, a full fledged >database has LOTS of objects and right now I cannot see a way out from my [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] >> >> >Mikael >> >> >Sweden |
