Standard Ribbon Tabs in Access 2007 Runtime

B

Baz

I've created a custom ribbon. I have observed that, alongside the custom
tabs I have created on my ribbon, the Access Home tab is also displayed.
This is A Good Thing, because everything on the Home tab is something I want
my users to have.

Unfortunately, the application needs to deployed using the Access runtime -
and when it is launched using the runtime, the Home tab has disappeared!

So, my question is, is there a simple way of including an entire "standard"
tab (i.e. the Home tab) in a custom ribbon, or am I going to have to build an
entire custom tab to replicate what's on the Home tab?

I've tried this but it has no effect:

<tab idMso="TabHomeAccess" visible="true"/>

Built in menus and toolbars have never been included in the runtime. You
have to build your own.

Thanks, but that isn't exactly what I asked. I realise that I will need to
include the required buttons etc. in my custom ribbon, but what I'd like to
know is whether there is a way of doing it by including an entire standard
tab within a custom ribbon, or whether I will have to build the entire tab
from scratch.

Toolbars and menus don't enter into it, I'm talking about Access 2007
ribbons. However, an analogy to earlier versions would be to create a custom
menu bar and to add a built-in menu to it, which is of course perfectly
possible in Access 2003 and earlier.

I thought it was obvious, but everything that applies to built-in menus and
toolbars in older versions applies to built-in ribbons in 2007 (as far as I
know).

Be that as it may, my question remains unanswered. Anyone?
