Hello, I've got a access db which has only half the menu
items showing i.e. only 'insert' ,'new record' items in
the insert menu.

How can I open the db to insert a form??

The db could have a custom menubar. Check the Startup
options, or custom menubars might be displayed when a form
or report opens - check the properties for the
form/report. This could also be done by code, so check for
Form_Load, _Open and _Current procedures in the form's
modules.

Also try holding down SHIFT when you open the db (eg.
press SHIFT & ENTER after typing your password). This
bypasses the auto_exec macro which implements the Startup
options. You should get full menus and the database window.

Finally, I don't mean to be rude, but you never know....
are there double down arrows at the bottom of the menu?
ClIf so, it means that less frequently used commands are
hidden on the menu. Click the arrows to see everything.
