In the Choose commands from list box, click Encode/Decode Database , and then
click Add . Then repeat this step to add Package and Sign .

You can add commands to a custom group, but not to a predefined group.

Next let's create a custom Search tab.

11

In the Customize the Ribbon list box, remove the Find and Sort & Filter groups from
the Home tab.

12

Click the word Home , and then below the list box, click New Tab . Notice that Access
adds a new tab called New Tab (Custom) to the list, selects it for display on the
ribbon, and assigns it one custom group.

13

For the purposes of this exercise, we don't need the custom group, so remove it.

14

Click New Tab (Custom) , and then click Rename . In the Rename dialog box, enter
Search in the Display name box, and click OK .
TIP The name appears on the ribbon with the capitalization you use in the Rename
dialog box. If you want Search to appear as SEARCH, enter it that way. However, bear
in mind that entering the tab name with an initial capital letter visually identifies it as
a custom tab.
