"Oops"- Please Help?

Sep 21, 2005

Good Afternoon,

I have created a Risk Management Database at work, I am a little rusty on Access, but everything seemed to be working nicely.

I then decided to add a Switchboard to link to Forms and Reports.

This again was working lovely.

I then decided to try and hide, everything only showing the switchboard, as one of the people that is going to use the database has a tendancy to play and I did not want him to mess it up..

Anyway, this was not a good Idea as I went into tools and Startup and then unticked some of the options to see what would happen? I closed it down and reopened it and like I wanted the database was hiden only showing the switchboard. Although on some options it is erroring and I tried to go back into Startup from the tools menu, only to discover that his has gone?

Please can anyone help with retrieveing it????? :o

OOPS. I've Erased All My Menu Items Upon Start-up

Jun 16, 2006

Hello all, (Access 2000)

I had a problem with one of our users getting a little too involved in our data base so I went to Tools and to Start-up. At the bottom-left of the window I de-selected:

Allow Full Menus
Allow Default Shortcut menus

I did this so the bare minimum shows up and the users can only use the intended functions. I now see my mistake as I cannot do anything with the db. The only menu options it gives me are

File
Window
Help

I tried to create a macro to restore my menu items but according to the help menu that only works for forms and reports. I've gone through every option in the help section. Problem is they all say to start with the 'View' menu item which I now no longer have.

Any thoughts?
