AccessCustomizations_QAT.zip
Attached are QAT customization files that were exported to be easily imported back into Access to define the Quick Access Toolbar. Make your QAT more useful (display QAT below ribbon so icons don't bump into the titlebar text). For 2007, use the 2010 file. An extra gap, |, means names changed and you didn't get something ... but you will still probably have more than you had before :) ~ Hover over each icon to see its tooltip. If you already have customizations, export your customizations file. Im

ColorPicker_by_Crystal_AD_MD_130430.zip
Access tool to pick colors. I originally wrote it then a couple others added on. The ACCDB was converted from the MDB that was originally posted. It is for getting RGB (Red-Green_Blue) values for colors, along with other color information.
The Colors-at-a-Glance tab was added by AD Tejpal and is arranged in a logical order for the color spectrum. It might be easier to use this tab to get RGB values that you want to try.
