Hi All,can anyone tell me how to go about hiding a particular button on the Access Ribbon.

I am able to hide tabs (as below) but can't work out how to hide a button For instance, the table button under the create tab

Any assistance would be appreciated.

  <ribbon startFromScratch="true">

   <tabs>

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

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

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

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

    </tabs>

     </ribbon>

 <backstage>

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

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

    Thanks Tom, I expected it would be something similar to hiding a tab on the file tab but it doesn't seem so. I think the line "It's not possible to change the contents of a built-in Group in the Ribbon" tells me all I need to know.

    Thanks again for your assistance.
