Lost Menus In Access... No View Or Tools After I Messed With Tools/Startup
Dec 17, 2004I wanted a Switchboard page in Access to open automatically when the database was opened. I've done that but, as I did it, while in the Tools/Startup to set Display Form Page (in this case a switchboard page but it's not opening full screen and I ow have no way of editing anything), I stupidly de-selected the options there...
Display database window, Display status bar, Allow built in tool bars allow toolbar/menu changes.
Now I have lost the tools Menu, the View Menu and others (where one sees, File, View etc at the top of the window) and I can't work out how to get them out. I can no longer view my Access pages in Design View so I can't amend the any pages.
Can anyone tell me how to get my View and Tools menus back on my Access app window?? It's a bit of an emergency... been up all night and have to hand this in as coursework at uni in about 3 hours and I've screwed up right at the end and can't do the last couple of things before putting it on a CD for my tutor to mark.
Help!
I'd also like to know how to get it to open the first form at full screen.
Thanks.

No Tools Menu...?
Aug 4, 2005I was just editing my Access database (stored on the intranet) when a message popped up saying "Disk or network error".
I clicked the only option ("ok") and closed the DB. When I reopened it, it said someone else was viewing it and I only had read permissions. I close it again, and see that in the directory where my .mdb file is stored I have the .ldb file remaining even though it isn't open.
I restart my machine, and try and open it again. I have to compact and repair the DB at Access' suggestion, yet now I only seem to have limited functionality....??
I.e. there is no Tools menu, I can't right click on forms or tables to choose Design View (although if I highlight them in the database pane and click the BUTTON for Design View I am able to proceed)....
What's going on?!!
I've tried going to File > Open and in the little arrow on the Open button choosing "Open Exclusive", but it opens and does the same thing as above...!!
I've checked a different database in Access, and I don't seem to have gone potty, in every other one I'm able to see the Tools menu, etc...?
Anyone got any clues as to how I can get my lovely database back on its feet and functioning properly? :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: :mad:

About Tools->Start-up Option
Apr 13, 2007*Can anyone tell me if or how to reffer to the options from Tools-->Startup in VBA code? I`m asking that because i want to open a database in different ways
taking in account the logged user.
*And another question: in access 2000 is possible to make .mde files? Because the option is dissabled in tools--> database utilities menu.
Many thanks,

Allow Built-in Tools Bars
Aug 2, 2007Hello,
I created a database, and was trying to get the welcome form, to load full screen. So I unchecked all Menu bar and Shortcut bar (allow)
So I now have locked my self out.
Any ideas, I once remember something like ctrl while opening the database, but that does not fix it.
Thanks,

Extra Tools In Access XP
Mar 8, 2008Although I have been using access for a year or two (self taught) I have only recently noticed that the form toolbox (the one with combo boxes and buttons etc on it) appears to have a library of procedure calls for calendars and all sorts of things sitting there waiting to be used. Is there a list somewhere of what all this lot does? I have been playing with a couple of date pickers but I don't particularly want to go through all of the rest to see what they do or if they would be useful.
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan I Set Tools/Options/Edit-Find/Confirm In VBA?
Jun 9, 2006Hi Guys & Gals,
I have a report that runs a number of queries via a macro in the on open property. These queries populate a table used in the report. The on close property runs a query to clear the table contents.
When a user ran this, he had a flurry of warning notices which I tracked down to the Confirm settings in the tools/options/edit find tab.
Is is possible to set these using vba?
I guess that this could be achieved using send keys, but this would probably be a bit clumsy - to say the least.
Can it be done so that the settings are changed only for the current session so that users have the original settings?
Any thoughts welcome.
Regards,
Keith.
Toolbars: View, Tools, Startup Menu
Aug 29, 2007Hello,
I've read most of the General category on Toolbars and Startup Menus, but still can't figure this out. I have no VIEW or TOOLS on my toolbar, so I can't get to the startup menu, toolbars, or anything else. When I go to Customize, one option is Built-in Menus. When I try to drag the VIEW or the TOOLS to the menu bar, it won't happen. I have tried the Shift trick, but it did not work either. Can someone help me?

Ashamed Non Vb Developer
Jan 25, 2008I must say when I read stuff about access which is all in vb I get to thinking that I can`t call myself a database guy.
I create a lot of databases for my company which allow people to gain sales history data for customers, enter and view visits to agencies, enter data for phone calls, process product returns, access and display requested data from the main sql server, suffice to say there isn`t a department in the company which doesn`t use one of my databases.
However I have to admit that there is almost no vb code in these databases even though I`ve attended a vb course (I have forgotten all of it as I`ve not used it). It`s all done with queries and macros.
I like to think that these databases work well and fairly quickly. I find it fairly quick to work with queries and macros.
So what do people think is the big advantage of code?
Am I just a lazy chuffer who should go hang my head in shame :o

Developer Extensions
Sep 27, 2004I was wondering if there's an easier way to getting the "developer's extensions" so I can deploy my program as a PROGRAM rather than an .mdb file. I don't really feel like shelling out $600 for a "subscription" to MSDN. Or maybe there's an easier way to deploy the program than using developer's extensions? I'm using 2003. Thanks!

Aug 29, 2005Hello,
I have an Access application I need to package for redistribution. Following the instructions on MSDN, I purchased Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003 to acquire the Access Developer Extensions which include the Package Wizard.
After installing VSTO, I found that Access Developer Extensions are not included. Can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of Access Developer Extensions? Is the Package Wizard available for download anywhere? Perhaps someone with an MSDN subscription would be nice enough to make this available to me?
Are any instructions availalbe for creating an installation file for an Access MDE file and including the Access Runtime?
Thanks,

Professional Access Developer
May 4, 2006Is there anyone based in or near Nottinghamshire (UK) who would be interested in reviewing the current database system we use at our office? We are a skiing holiday company and the database is fairly complex.
It was created about ten years ago and over time has had various bits and pieces added on etc. and I am under the impression it is currently a mess!
I am looking for a professional database developer, not an amateur who fancies themselves as such! If anyone can help, please post your details and credentials and I'll give you a shout.
Cheers.

Access 97 Developer & Office XP
Feb 14, 2005Hi Guys,
I hope I am in the right forum area. I have just upgraded to XP Home and have a choice of Office systems to install. However I have Office 97 Developer Edition that I use for Access Databases and this must be installed. I can also install either Office 2000 or Office XP Professional. What are the problems with having any of these combinations and Access 97 with the developer.
I have heard that there may be licencing issues or I may have to install in a particular order. Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
