I am trying to utilise the RibbonX UI for some Access forms, and was
hoping to be able to use the <contextualTabs> flag to make a ribbon
specific for a form. However, it appears to be loading for all forms.

Is this expected bahavior? and if so, How do I make a RibbonX UI
element so that it only appears on a particular form?


THank you for your time.

PS. I have posted in this topic as well, as the other topic doesn't
quite get as much activity as this topic.
Thank you for your time with this matter.

Thank you very much for your response.

I had assigned the ribbon to the form, being that the form was the
default login form, I was using the assign to form, rather then
setting the load ribbon for database.
Once I removed the assigned Ribbon for the Login Form, everything
worked as it should.

Just so it's clearer for you to understand my scenario.

I have a login Form, and a ribbon that dynamicly determins menu's
available to a user.
The Ribbon for the Menu's was being assigned to the login form while I
am writting the database, until I can specify it is the default ribbon
without impacting my development.
However, when the login form was assigned this ribbon, it was, for
some strange reason picking up that it should load another ribbon that
I use to manage user accounts which was written specificly for another
form.

Removing the Default Ribbon from the login form seemed to fix the
problem.


Also, I would like to thank you for the demo database that you have
posted.
It is a good reference, and I appreciate the time in posting a link to
it, and also in writting them in the first place.


Regards
Anthony
