How To Customizing a Toolbar in Access 2003

You can create your own toolbars to increase your efficiency. You might, for example, create a toolbar that contains macros and other features that you use most often when you are performing a particular task, such as editing records in a table. You can change the properties of an existing Access toolbar or one that you create using the Customize dialog box, which allows you to control the toolbar's placement.

Did You Know?

The Undo button does not undo when you are customizing a toolbar. Remember not to click the Undo button while you are customizing a toolbar. Rather than reversing the last change, clicking the Undo button selects the button so you can copy or move it.
