Main Menu Bar lost

[jpl458]

Suddenly I don't have a main menu bar when I open ACCESS. (File Tools etc). I do use "MenuBarctl (False) in another application, but I hae before permanently lost the main menu bar on opening access. Any help would be appreciatied.

Thanks in advance

I'm assuming that MenuBarCtl is a function or sub in your application, and that False is a parameter telling it to turn it off.

Therefore with that database open, if you press Ctrl G (to open the debug window) and in the immediate section type:

MenuBarctl (True) <enter>

hopefully this will reverse the settings it put in place.

If it doesn't, post back and I will tell you some other ways of getting to this.

Followed your instructions, but when I enter MenuBarctl (True) into the immediate window I get "Sub or Function not defined". When i ruhn the ACCESS application on my PC at home it works fine. But when I run it at work i don't a main menu bar. I carry the app back and forth on a flash drive, and it executes out of that. So the problem is with ACCESS at work. Main menus are ok on all other MS application e.g. EXCEL.

Thanks for the help. I am stumped.

Yes, tried with both applications. When I first open ACCESS the main menu bar is missing, so I cant get to the linked table manager in tools. At home everything is fine, but here not so good.

I am thinking that I might have to uninstall ACCESS and reinstall, but looking for easier solution. Could the problem be in my windows profile? I've read a suggestion on the web that says I should delete my profile from another log in then log back in and restart windows. Does that make sense?

Thanks

Problem fixed. Had to have administrator remove my user profile from windows. After logging back on all was ok with the ACCESS world
