Access COM add-in "Bob Eaton" <pete_dembrowski[ at ]hotmail.com> 15.07.2006 09:57:11 When the user opens Access, my COM Add-in (created with VS.Net 2005) gets the IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection and eventually the OnStartupComplete calls. According to the tutorial I followed to create it, the latter function is where I should add my toolbar menus and buttons. However, if Access is opened without a database opened, then it doesn't allow menus to be added. If I try, I get the error message: "You must have a database open to create custom toolbars" But then when I finally open a database, the IDTExtensibility2 interface doesn't seem to be called again... So is there a way I can get my COM add-in to be called once a document is opened (and each time a new database is opened thereafter)? Like... is there a way to request a "database opened" event? Thanks, Bob
