Run the following command from the VB Immediate Window (CTRL-G) inside Microsoft Access to remove any custom command bars present in the currently loaded database:
CurrentDb.Execute “DELETE * FROM MSysAccessStorage WHERE ParentId IN (SELECT msa.Id FROM MSysAccessStorage AS msa WHERE msa.Name = ‘Cmdbars’;);”
Execute the following code to completely remove all custom command bars from the Windows Registry (this will speed up load-time for Microsoft Access:
Sub RemoveCustomMenusFromRegistry()'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Settings\CommandBars
Dim lCBHandle As Long
Dim sValues() As String
Dim a As LonglCBHandle = RegistryAPI.OpenRegistryKey(RegistryAPI.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Settings\CommandBars")
RegistryAPI.GetRegistryKeyValues lCBHandle, sValues()
For a = LBound(sValues) To UBound(sValues)
If sValues(a) Like "ACBCustom Popup*" Then
RegistryAPI.DeleteRegistryValue lCBHandle, sValues(a)
End If
Next a
RegistryAPI.CloseRegistryKey (lCBHandle)End Sub

Since WordPress makes such a mess of this code and I have no clue how to easily fix it, I will post this on my main site via notepad.exe, then provide a link from here to it. D’OH!
