Microsoft Access ribbon set up
Below is an excerpt of the XML code used to create the Ribbon in Access.
The bit I can't get to grips with is where are the images held for each button? It is defined here: imageMso=""FileCheckIn"
So is the image "FileCheckIn" held within Access? In which case, how do I find the list of images that I can use? Or do I have to import them in?
The code is:

Thanks - I don't see these images available in my version of Access. As I asked originally - do I need to import these, or should they be available within Access?

What do you mean by : " I don't see these images available in my version of Access".
When you build a ribbon and you define imageMso as one from the list you should be able to view them on your Custom Ribbon

What I mean is this - how do I know which images are available? Is there a list? For example, I need to add a new button, and it would be good if it had an image of a car, for example. How do I know which images are available? Or do I have to import it?
ok...now we are talking...
As i said these are the built images ...you just name e.g
imageMso=""BlockAuthorsMen u"
and voila you got this image on your ribbon button
If you want your own custom icons ...like a car you mentioned then it requires some extra work
as described here

We definitely are getting there! But still not answering my question - how do I know what's available in terms of built-in images?
