Button Option in backstage doesn't work

Question

HI Folks,

after changing the ribbon using xlm and USysRibbons table, but only after running several times my application, now I'm not able any more to use the Option button in the File backstage menu. I've tried to use the Alt+T but the result it is always the same, application jumps to the main form in the Home tag. Any ideas? Thank you a lot. Gianluca

Thank you Sandro,

BTW, I've tried several times to disable/hide the backstage buttons, but never happen as far as I know...

Actually I set the <backstage> tag immediately after the <ribbon> tag, but doesn't work.

and all the time I try to add the <backstage> tag, access doesn't process the XLM code with that command...

Do you have a sample which I can study :o)

Thank you a lot.

ciao Gianluca.

Thank you

You are welcome.

Actually I've used the repair action from control panel (related to Office program).

Now started again to work.

Well done.

Access backstage could be handled by code as well as ribbon, so I supposed it was changed by code during DB startup and pressiong shift button you are able to skip that set up.

The main and important thing is to have the matter fixed.

  see you, ciao.
