How do I share a custom toolbar in Access?

[Guest]

We had a shared access 2000 database on our server that became unstable. As
an immediate fix, I created a new file and imported everything - including
the toolbars - but when any other user on any other machine tries to log on
they don't get the custom toolbar that is vital for operating the database.
The database has been locked down to the bare minimum - no default toolbars
or menus. The toolbar appears on my machine alone.

They've got the custom toolbar, it's just not displayed.

Toolbar display is a user option.

If they haven't turned the toolbar off, it should default
to the default state for the database when they first
use the database.

That has failed. Don't know why.

You could try renaming the custom toolbar, to try to get
the correct default behaviour, but i suggest just adding
code to display that toolbar

Access.CommandBars("cbarPTM_MainMenu").Visible = true

or

docmd.ShowToolbar "cbarPTM_MainMenu"


Unless you have explicit code to hide toolbars, each user
should only have to run that code once. But you can
leave it in the application anyway.
