When one adds an button to the toolbar in Access,
eg. Format Align Left to the Form/Report Design toolbar
where does get stored? In a file, and if so, what file? or is it stored in
the Registry?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi, Peter.

In Access 2K and newer versions, a button added to a built-in commandbar
will be stored in the Windows Registry. A button added to a custom
commandbar will be stored in the monolithic record in the database, along
with the other database objects, such as forms, reports, and modules.

In earlier versions of Access, a button added to a custom commandbar will be
stored in a system table in the database.

HTH.

The definitions are stored within the database itself.

It sounds to me as if the OP is talking about changes to the built in toolbars.
These are not stored in the file and from my experience there are certain
aspects of completely custom toolbars that aren't either.

For example: If a user hides a custom toolbar replacing his file with another
copy will not bring it back. Likewise if he moves it or changes where it is
docked.
