You probably set some startup options that made the menubar disappear. Try holding down the Shift key while opening the
database; this should get the menubar back (assuming you haven't also disabled the Shift Key Bypass, that is). If this
works, then click Tools - Startup and recheck the "Allow Built-in Toolbars" option, along with any other options you
want changed (all of them are checked in a new database).
We are getting this issue all the time on our standard databases that have
all the boxes still checked, because one of our other public db has the menu
bars hidden. Somehow it constantly affects the next one you open.
In our situation, we put this code from G Hudson on a button on every normal
switchboard because it's so frustrating. There is another way to do it from
the Immediate window, but I don't know the code.
Private Sub cmdRestoreToolbars_Click()
'ghudson 5/12/2006
'unhide all menu bars and tool bars
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = True
Next i
