At some point Microsoft will probably publish an example ribbon
that mirrors the default Access ribbon, but such an example was not available during the Access
2007 beta.
Tabs
The Access Auto Auctions ribbon contains four tabs: Access Auto Auctions, Reports,
Administration, and Help. The main tab (Access Auto Auctions) contains the operations most frequently
conducted by the Access Auto Auctions application users, while the other tabs contain less
frequently used controls.

Groups
Each tab in the Access Auto Auctions ribbon includes a number of groups. Figure 34-7 shows the
Access Auto Auctions tab which contains the Home, Auction News, Login, Orders, and Customer
groups. A tab can contain numerous groups, but take care not to overload a tab with too many
groups. It??™s much better to add additional tabs as needed, rather than add so many groups that a
user is confused.
Controls
In Figure 34-7, each group contains a variety of controls. For instance, the Home group contains a
single large button labeled Home, whereas the Customers group contains three different buttons.
