Saving my A2K customized toolbars?

[StargateFan]

In Word, I keep a backup of my normal.dot; for Excel, my Excel.xlb.
What file do I search for on my hdd to save the one I've just
customized for Access? I've done a search for all files on my hdd
modified in last day, but can't figure out which one it might be for
Access. I googled but didn't find info either. Pls help. I don't
want to have to re-create the toolbars when I do the next
re-format/re-install of my OS!

Thanks! D

Customizations to the tool/menubars is stored in the registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Access\Settings\CommandBars

Obviously the "8.0" varies by your Office version. You could export that
registry key and save it as a backup.

Thank you, I did that! So I now have a reg file in with my default
toolbar backups. <sigh> Wish it weren't done this way; many jobs now
have the registry locked. But at least at home I'll be assured of an
easier interface. Thanks!

You're right. Mine says "9.0".
