Ribboncreator2021

RibbonCreator 2021 is one of the most popular tools for creating custom Microsoft Access ribbons without having to write all the Ribbon XML manually. It provides a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that allows developers to create tabs, groups, buttons, menus, and icons visually, and then export the generated Ribbon XML directly into an Access database. 

Advantages of RibbonCreator 2021

• Easy-to-use visual interface.
• Automatically generates Ribbon XML.
• Integrates VBA callbacks for Access applications.
• Supports custom images and built-in Office icons (idMso).
• Compatible with Microsoft Access 2021 and Microsoft 365. 

Alternative Solution

Another excellent option is AccessUI Ribbon & Tree Builder, a free Access add-in that enables developers to build complex ribbons without XML knowledge. It also helps generate the required VBA callback procedures automatically.
