Setting up a default "main" menu

[John S. Ford, MD]

I'm developing an application in Access 97. I created a custum "main" menu
bar and various form-associated menu bars as well. I have tried to set up
my Main Menu bar as the default menu bar for the application using the
Startup Dialogue box by selecting it in the Menu Bar field. I also have a
splash form selected as the initial Display Form.

When the application is started, the splash form opens up with IT'S own
associated menu bar. The rest of the application's menu bars come up
appropriately depending on which form is active.

Unfortunately, when all the application's forms are closed, NO menu bar at
all is visible and the only way back into the application is to exit Access
97 and start over. Why isn't my Main Menu bar visible in this situation and
what can I do about it?

Hum, I am not sure why your settings don't work for you.

I have a quick small download of a a97 example with custom menus..and if
you close all the forms...the main menu bar specified in the tools->startup
remains.

You can try and download..and take a look at the settings...perhaps you will
find the answer.

You can find the sample here:

First, try running the sample. Then, exit..and then re-enter to by-pass the
tools->startup settings....
