MS ACcess - hiding export ribbon buttons
I have an Access Report which background VBA code displays for the users in Print View (only). Users do not see the left hand navigation bar - everything is managed for them via forms/buttons, etc.
I need to restrict them from exporting the report data to excel in the print preview of the report.
I don't mind they can export to word or PDF - but a solution involves hiding those as well, that's ok.
users need to see the ribbon on forms to sort records, filter, etc.
I guess I could hide the ribbon entirely on that print view using report_load (to hide the ribbon) and report_close ( to restore the ribbon)
any thoughts on this is there a way to hide the export to excel button (and perhaps others?0
