Symptoms

You have a Microsoft Office Access 2007 database that has a customized ribbon on a form. When you open the database in Microsoft Access 2010, the customized ribbon does not appear.

Cause

In Access 2010, customized ribbon names are case-sensitive. Therefore, if the developer of the ribbon did not use the correct case in Office Access 2007, the ribbon does not appear when the ribbon is called through the code.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, the developer of the customized ribbon must change the syntax of the code that references the ribbon to�the correct case.

For example, a ribbon name in USYSRibbons is "Contacts." The following code works in Office Access 2007 but fails in Access 2010:
Me.RibbonName = "contacts"
Change the code to the following to work in both versions of Access:
Me.RibbonName = "Contacts"
