How do I hide the ribbon tab named HOME?

[dibby44]

As a Developer, I have found code to hide 3 of the ribbon tabs,
<tab idMso="TabCreate" visible="false" />
<tab idMso="TabExternalData" visible="false" />
<tab idMso="TabDatabaseTools" visible="false" />

but this still leaves the "Home" tab visible, which enables users to view /
access /[therefore] amend the form designs.
I have tried TabHome, Tab Home, TabDatabase Home, Tab Database Home, Home
but none of these work.
Help appreciated.

One way to do this is to set StartFromScratch = True. I believe this clears
all the tabs. Then you'd need to add your custom tabs back in.

Good luck

Thanks for your swift reply - Yes, it does hide ALL the tabs BUT the Add-Ins
that were in my 2003 version are automatically present in 2007 [on a tab
named "Add-Ins"] each time they are context-required and I don't want to hide
that tab, nor do I want to have to rebuild all the Add-In commands from
scratch. I simply want to hide the Home tab, OR disable or remove the
Design View icon on the Home tab to prevent users "dabbling". Is there a
method for either or both of these?

Sorry Jeff, just found the answer - it's TabHomeAccess not tabAccessHome.

If you go to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb187398.aspx
you can download a full listing of all the objects/system names on the
right-side of the page - the lists apply to all Office 2007 Objects and it
looks very useful.

Now to move on to my next puzzle - watch this space if I don't resolve it.
