Get the database back to original after setting on Startup 2

[quinbe]

I need an urgent help here guys.
I have made a copy of my database and tried the Tools/Startup option. And guess what.......I delete my original DB, now I only I an uneditable version left after playing with Startup option.
Can anyone help me how to get the full menu bar back.
Any help would be appreciate it

Hi
Highlight your database, hold down the shift key and press return to open the database. This bypasses start up options.

I was unsuccesful, there are only File, Edit, Insert, Records, Window, and Help appear in the Menu bar. Is there another solution? I'm crying

As a by-the-way, I have often found that I have to try the shift key thingy more that once, but I think that might be me...

You are holding the Shift key when opening the database? (Close the db and Access before trying).

You might try danvlas suggestion here thread702-917672, should it still fail...

Glad you were successful, tekmate! You might want to do what I ALWAYS do: before any major change I always make three backup copies. It takes a miinute, maybe, but it's well worth it!

Real men don't make backups...
