Custom Ribbon side effect - Access 2007 [modified]

[john john mackey]

I am trying to create a new tab in the Ribbon of my Access 2007 application (a new menu-item in the menu bar for us old tymers...) I have followed the example at the MSDN site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338202.aspx#OfficeCustomizingRibbonUIforDevelopers_Access[^] and it does create a Custom Tab with a custom group within. However

1. I don't know how to include my own sub-items (Help, About)

2. I have a side effect for dialog-type forms:
   If i open a form of this type, right-click and select "Close Alt+F4"
   that window turns to the view listing (Design View, Layout View, Form View, Datasheet View
   and also Save, Close, Close All)
   Is this "normal" - because I see it before I added my Ribbon stuff
3. I want to display a compiled help (.chm) file

I just want to add a custom tab that allows shows my own About form and maybe compiled Help (.chm) file. Thank you, JJ
