Reuse Custom Toolbars and Menus?

[Roger Tregelles]

Hi Folks,

I've created custom toolbars and custom menus for my user version database
front-ends. I then hide the default toolbars and menus before creating an
MDE file. Is there anyway to use these custom toolbars and menus in other
database front-ends or do I need to create them new from scratch for each
separate front-end? Seems like a lot of work if I cannot use these
elsewhere. Thanks in advance for any and all help provided.

Hello Roger.

In a new database, you can import objects from another database
(File, get external data). If you click the Options button, you can
choose to import custom menus and toolbars.

I found the answer in the Forums at www.thescripts.com as follows:

1. Use File->Get External Data->Import
2. Select the mdb file that has the toolbar in it.
3. Expand Options, check Menus and Toolbars only.

Worked like a charm!
