I'm working on an Urdu/Arabic project in Microsoft Access and want to build custom ribbon (using xml code) for navigating for different forms. Ribbon labels will be in Urdu/Arabic so need to set a font which have better readibility in said languages. I search over internet but couldn't find an answer to my query. How can we change font for labels in a custom ribbon in Access?
Best Regards,
The Fluent UI (aka Ribbon) doesn't provide anything for setting a font for its controls. You can read more about the ribbon UI in the following articles:

I'd like to change the default font that is used as for datasheet views in MS Access. Recently, I've upgraded from 2003 to 2016, and I can not find out how (via Google or otherwise) to change the default font that is used for displaying data in tables or queries.
I'm not looking for a way to set the font on a form. I want to change the default font that is used to display any data, in datasheet view.
I assume this may involve registry hack and I wouldn't mind that approach. Does anyone know if this setting can be changed?
For Office 365, open any form in design mode. In the Themes area of the ribbon, select Fonts. Select Customize Fonts. In the dialog box, select a Heading Font and a Body Font, create a name for this font theme, and then save. Access will use your selected Body Font for all datasheets unless you override.
Open RegEdit and go to this location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Access\Settings
I added a new string value named "Default Font Name" (without the quotes) and entered a value of "Arial Narrow" (no quotes). No re-boot is needed.
Open any existing Access file and the font will be changed in the datasheet view. Note: If you already have access running then close and re-open Access.
There's an ocean of web pages that explain how to change the tab order of Access 2007 form controls as they function in Form View. But...can the tab order of controls be changed as they function in Design View..?
I'm a keyboard freak and prefer to tab through controls in Design View, and to use the keyboard as much as possible to adjust control properties. But on complex forms with many controls, the lack of an obvious tab order can get annoying. I'm currently working on a form with over 50 controls, and if I could tab through them in any kind of recognizable order, it would be most appreciated.
I want to create 'Navigation Forms' in 'ms Access' as it should look like a form but i need to navigate in between them.
And the forms are composed of queries creation of form is simple but the problem is like if i can create in 2010 or 2013 its just simple but i dont have upgraded version but i think there is some way to create page navigation like 2010 and 2013 in 2007.
Any help is accepted.
Here is a sample link in 2010(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovcxmeyrILQ)
Tab Controls are NOT the same as Navigation Controls! Tabs Ctrls hold separate forms on each page or tab, which means when the main form loads it loads ALL the sub-forms that are contained on the various pages of the TabCtrl.
Sadly Nav Ctrls were introduced in A2010, however, I've been using them since 2003. Well obviously not exactly because they were introduced. But instead I used labels (not command buttons although you can use those - I chose labels because I wanted to change the background and font color of the selected "tab"). I also wrote a function that took the value of the label (aka subform name) and used that to change the form of a subform control which was placed directly below or beside the labels depending on whether I wanted a horizontal or vertical "nav ctrl".
I could upload the code for this, however, I believe, given that MS has given a better control than this work around AND you should be able to piece this together if you've got a basic working experience with VBA.
I have a large report that I built in Report Builder 3.0. The report consist of several tablexes and several (800 - 1000) textboxes. When I get an error in an expression, the system says I have an error in Textbox205 for example. Is there an easy way to find "Textbox205"?
When using Visual Studio, at the top of the Properties window there is a drop down box with all the objects on your report in it. You can find and select the object in there.
One technique is to open the .rdl file in a text editor and Ctrl-F search for the text box name. This will take you to the xml attributes of the textbox, which usually allows you determine which textbox contains the problem.
I typically click any element and then start pressing tab till I find what I am looking for.
The element name will be displayed in the properties window:
You can right-click on the report(.rdl) and click "View Code". This opens the xml file in Visual Studio.
You can search the number in the xml file.
With Visual Studio, you can see the Document Schema (Ctrl + Alt + T) with View > Other windows > Document Schema. It will appear a window with a tree view of the full report.
I'm looking for a lightweight ComboBox for as3. The normal ComboBox component introduces an overhead of 60kb, that's too much for a banner or a landing page.
I google this looking for options but what I found are paid custom components.
Do you know where I can find a lightweight combobox for as3?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan.
Here is an open source component that is suppose to be lighter than the stock ones:
