Another Microsoft Access Question

[AndyM]

Since a few other people have asked Access questions here in the past, I think I will take a turn...

In a moment of incompetence, I got in a hurry this afternoon, and in my attempt to hide the Status bar, I unchecked the one for "Allow Full Menus" in the database I've been working on for the past two months. Now that the database has since been closed and re-opened, I no longer have access to the "Tools" menu to change this back to the original setting...

Now that the menus are no longer showing, how can I get back in there to re-check the box to show the full menus?

There's had to been someone else out there who's done this who can tell me how to undo it! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I will take you to lunch to the restaurant of my choice if you can fix this for me! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Thanks!

Tools/ Customize /Options /Show Full Menus after Short Delay?

If I understand your question right

Now that I have unchecked "Allow Full Menus",
"Tools" no longer appears in the menu bar to go in and change it back...

Andy,

Hold down the shift key while opening the database file. This bypasses the startup options. You can then go back and fix the setting.

Great security inside of Access, eh? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
