Email on Ribbon disappears when user is using Runtime Version of MS Access 2010.
I have a crossover of Full version of Access users and others who have the runtime installed who need some additional functionality like being able to compact and repair or email documents.
I did create a custom tab/ribbon and added it as my ribbon to use but those items do not show on the ribbon when a user is running the runtime version.

This is a standalone database that imports a users old data into a new version and part of the issues surrounds compiling so the autonumber refresh. There is no backend to work with and from what I know you can't compact and repair the database you are in, or am I wrong with this?
I did it using the USysRibbon table way.

You are correct - you cannot compact/repair the current database through code.
Can you show the XML you're using to create the ribbon?

Do you get the Export to Excel item?
I've had much better luck recreating the entire Ribbon, and setting startFromScratch="true"

No excel was excluded, just the PDF one was active.
The email one is on the normal Print Preview when a report was open but not for the runtime users.

This solved the issue.
Note that the runtime does not allow certain things. I'm not sure if the runtime allows the user-click Compact or not (you can compact from code in the Runtime, of course).
