Commandbars that behave differently in mde and mdb files with 2007

[BAnders]

Hi,

I have an application developed in Access 2003 using one customized menubar
(CommandBar). The application is distributed as a .mde. The menubar works
fine when it is used with Access 2003 but not with 2007. The .mdb works fine
for both.

Since it is harder to debug .mde I have traced the setting of the commandbar
by using Msgbox showing how it is set up and it is correct. The following is
happening: 2 of 6 menus are not dropping down and a popup item on one of the
working menus is not dropping down. I have checked that all the menu items on
the root level have type 10.

The peculiar is that this only happens with .mde version. What to do?

Thanks in advance

Hi again,

I use VBA to customize the commandbars/menubars. It seems that all changed
items are not shown in the combination of Vista, Access 2007 and .mde
(compiled version in Access 2003). Notice that the properties Allow changes
of Toolbar/Menubars is set to true.

Is it Vista that needs to be configured? or Access 2007?

But why is it work with a .mdb file?

Thanks in advance!
