Lost Menu bar

[Guest]

Hello,

I've lost the menu bar in MS Access. When I right click on the tool bar and
click "customize", "menu bar" is not one of the options for me to re-check.

Can you tell me how to get it back? I'm in Access 2003.

Thanks,

I've found the solution, so I thought I'd share it.

Open Access then go to the Immediate window (ctrl G). Paste
commandbars("menu bar").Enabled = true in the window and hit "enter". This
restored the Menu Bar, including the customizing I had done to it.

However, at first, when I closed Access and reopened, the menu bar was gone
again. I read elsewhere that the problem may have been that the menu bar was
undocked and had somehow floated outside the window. So, I redid the steps
above, then undocked and redocked the menu bar and this time it stayed there
when I restarted.

Thanks,

I've lost my menu bar too from Microsoft Access 2003, but I don't
understand from your explanation what I have to do in order to bring it
back.

Do you have an easier way to explain what has to be done to bring back
the menu bar?

Thank you,
Ann

Hi Ann,

Sorry i wasn't very clear. Let me try again.
1. Open Access.
2. Hit "ctrl G". This should open Visual Basic and the "Immediate" window
(it's at the bottom of the screen in VB for me).
3. In the Immediate window type "commandbars("menu bar").Enabled = true" and
hit enter.
4. Close Visual Basic. The menu bar should be back in Access.

The other part of my problem was when I closed Access and reopened it, the
menu bar was gone again. So, I redid the steps above and then "undocked" or
moved the menu bar, then put it back. That solved the problem.

Was this clearer? Hope it helped.

Thanks,
