Lost my Access Menu

[Dave]

Access 2003
I have lost the main menu (The one under the title bar) in Access.
I have access to the tool bars (Right click) but no menu.
This does not appear to be a mistake I have made in a file (custom
menus........) because any DB I open now does NOT have a menu.
Can not find hoe to get it back.

Any advise.

Thanks in advance,
dave

Does pressing Alt+T drop down the Tools menu anyway (even though it's not
visible?)

If so you can choose Startup on the Tools menu, and check the boxes again to
enable the built-in menus.

Alt+T does nothing.
And This is the MENU missing (File, Edit..........) Not the tool bars

Also as I mentioned this is ACCESS wide (On this machine). It is not a
particular DB issues.

I can open all the same DB's on another machine and the menu is there.

What the heck is going on??

Got to be some way to turn the menu back on

Thnaks for the reply

You may be able to programmatically make the change by opening the Immediate
Window and entering things like this:
Currentdb.Properties("AllowBuiltInToolbars") = True
Currentdb.Properties("AllowFullMenus") = True
Currentdb.Properties("StartUpShowDBWindow") = True
Then restart the app.

Once you get any kind of toobar or menu, right-click to the right of it, and
choose Customize. You can then reset your menus.

OK - This is just too weird.
Even if I just open the ACCESS application (No DB) there is no Menu.
So I ran Office repair - still no Menu
So I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of the entire Office suite.
Opened the ACCESS application never touching a DB.
STILL no Menu

I will try the programming you mentioned but this just is not making any
sense to me.

OH! And BTW menus ARE there in the other office suites

I will let you know.

Thanks

Update:
None of your code worked to solve the problem

Also tried
commandbars("menu bar").Enabled = true

still no menu

Reset menus and tool bars does not solve the problem

How can this even still exist after a reinstall?

Ok got it solved with:
Application.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Enabled = True

still don't understand the whole damn thing

Thanks for the replies

I thought I knew a little about Access, but when I lost my menu bar (still
don't know what I did) I couldn't find a d**n thing on the normal help
channels. I went through the same steps that you did, to include updating all
of the files I reinstalled. Nothing worked.

Thank you. You have saved my weekend and my sanity.
