Control IDs for Menu Commands and Toolbar Buttons

[Vincent Fournier]

I am attempting to disable the “Tool/Database Utilities/Convert Databaseâ€
menu item in Access 2003 for the duration of my deployment project.

After installing the Office 2003 Resource Kit I now have an Administrative
Template for Access 2003 in the Group Policy Snap-in. This Admin Template
gives me the ability to disable menu options by Control ID. The problem is
that I don’t know the control ID for “Tool/Database Utilities/Convert
Databaseâ€.

I did find a reference to locating “Control IDs for Menu Commands and
Toolbar Buttons for Office 2003†on the Microsoft site that said to go into
VBA and in the immediate menu type the following to get the Control ID for
“File/Save Asâ€.

? commandbars ("menu bar").controls ("file").controls ("save as…").id

This command fails and I am wondering if this is because the syntax has
changed in Office 2003 or if I am doing something wrong.

Question #1: Has used the functionality of GPO to disable Built-in menu
items?

Question #2: Can anyone give me the correct syntax to get the Control ID for
“Tool/Database Utilities/Convert Database†or does anyone know the control ID?
