Access 2016 Display Custom Toolbars as Menus

Question

Sign in to vote

An Access 2003 application with forms that display custom toolbars with menu selections, the menus are always visible when the forms are open. Each menu item has several menu command buttons which display when its higher level menu is selected. These sub level command buttons call vb code to execute.

The application has been converted to Access 2016 and the menus are stored as a Custom Toolbar and execute properly when used. However, the tool bar does not stay visible for ease of use when working with the open form as it did in the 2003 version. How can I keep the menus visible without having to click the Custom Toolbars icon which I added to the ribbon?

Hi,

According to your description, I am still not quite sure about your requirement. If possible, could your please provide a screenshot for detailed information?

Office 2003 is out of support, and I have no Access 2003 to refer to this custom toolbars feature. In Access 2016, we can add the custom toolbars in File > Options > Quick Access Toolbars. And the custom toolbars would always visible on the above of the Ribbon whenever you open a form in Access 2016.
