Missing Menus &Toolbars |
| message from jenni_p on 1 Jun 2004 |
I have a rather stupid question.
All of my menus and toolbars are missing. Not even my
FILE, EDIT.....menus are there.
How do I get these back?
Please help!
Jenni

How you get them back depends on how you got rid of them.
1) Try opening the database while holding down the shift key. If this works,
go to Tools|Startup... and check the Allow Toolsbars/Menus boxes.
2) Open the database, press Ctrl+G to go to the immediate window. Type
RunCommand acCmdStartupProperties
and press enter, this will bring up the dialog in #1.
3) At the immediate window type
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "toolbar name", acToolbarWhereApprop
close and reopen Access. This will need to be done for each toolbar.
Here is a list of toolbar names:
Alignment and Sizing
Database
Menu Bar
There are more; however, once you have the menu bar you can go to
View|Toolbars|Customize and reset the rest of them from the Toolbars tab.

Wayne -
I followed the below. I got other toolbars to show. No
matter what I do I cannot get the most important one, the
Menu Bar, to show.
Is there a different command for this one?

Do you have the menu bar in other databases? You can try to force it on from
the immediate window with
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarYes
Is there a chance that it is on and someone has dragged it off-screen? I was
able to drag mine out of the Access window and push it almost completely off
the side of the screen.

From the testing I've done, if it was turned off using #3 in the previous
message, it should return if you close and reopen Access, unless there is
code running at startup that will hide them again.
