Is there a way to "lock" the Create group so nobody can use it?

Just wondering...  Is there a way to "lock" the Create group so nobody can use it?

What is the "Create Group"?
Are you referring to the Navigation Pane "Custom Group" option? If so, then no, there's no way to do that.

In a production app, users really shouldn't see the nav pane anyway. You should instead provide a "menu" of some sort (menu form, ribbon, etc) that allows users to navigate as they needed. Allowing the nav pane is just asking for troubles, since the user can get directly to Tables, queries, etc.

No, I'm talking about the options on the ribbon at the top of the screen.  I know I can "turn off" the "Create" group by right clicking the ribbon and choosing "Customize the Ribbon" and unchecking the "Create" checkbox.  But then any user could do the same thing and check it again.

I have d/l and installed the ribbon creator for 2010 but when I try to open an Access file I get an error>>>

"There is no table USysRibbons in the selected database"
Ribbon Creator is a bit tricky to work with at first, but if you read through the tutorials it'll come to you pretty quickly.

It will add the tables, and code modules, and such, but you have to do things in the right order. I don't recall the exact steps, but the website should have everything you need to get started.
