Many times you feel difficult to work on a form having no toolbar. You can access any page on the form by using the toolbar. So, tool bar must be used to make an Access form easier. Just take an example so that you can understand more properly. If you are creating a which should only be used to print individual students records. For this scenario, you can create a toolbar that does just that. You should not add tools that can make user confuse for accessing.

2. Then select New on the Toolbars tab.
3. You will have to give the name for Toolbar. Lets say enter Student Form for the Toolbar Name.
4. Then select the File from the Categories list after clicking on the Commands tab.
5. Click and drag the Print and Print Preview commands to the Students Form toolbar.

The steps mentioned by the 'void' should work. But you will have to do something more for completing that process of creating tool bar. After clicking on close, the form might not appear on the toolbar, so you would have to do the described points for assigning the Student Form toolbar to the Student Form. Now to assign the Student Form toolbar to the Student Form, first you will have to double-click the form property button. Then click the tab called 'Other'. Lastly select Student Form from the Toolbar drop-down list. Hope that helps you..!!

I think that you should have known the steps for creating the custom toolbar. Sometimes you need to create a toolbar for all Microsoft Access data files. I have given you the steps for same :

1. First go to View menu, than select the Toolbars option and then click Customize.
2. Then select the check box for Utility 1 or Utility 2 which would be presented in the Toolbars box.
3. After doing the mentioned settings, close the Customize dialog box.
4. Finally, for completing the toolbar, add buttons from the Customize dialog box. You can also move or copy a button from another toolbar or can add the menus.
