Cannot find the Developer Tab in Access 2016. 1

[08211987]

I cannot find the Developer Tab in Access 2016. It displays in all the other office products but not Access. My Help desk has not been able to determine why either and want to down grade me to Office 10. Has any one encountered this? I am new at this company and wanted to build an Access application utilizing VBA.
Appreciate the assistance!

There is no developer tab in the Access ribbon. By default in you are already in developer mode. To create new objects, just use the Create tab. Once an object has been created, right-click it and choose design view. The code window is easily accessible via the various event properties in design view. You can also press Alt+F11 to open the VBA window.

Wow, the last time I used Access was Access 2010 and I haven't coded since last June, guess I got some catching up to do. Thank you so much!! Any particular articles you'd recommend would be greatly appreciated, I'll be researching. Thanks again!

In terms of VBA, there aren't too many differences from 2010. Here is a list of updates by version from the FMS web site and a matrix of similar information.
