MBD created in 32 bit doesn't have any options to save it under File and no DataBase tool bar
I'm working in MS Office 365 32 bit. I have a database application that has an mdb extension. I can open it and I can see the components, ( forms, queries, tables, modules) but there is no save optio...
If I attempt to open it in 64-bit Access I get the error message that states this database was created in 32 bit Access please open it with the 32 bit version of Access.
Are you using the Access Runtime, instead of the full Access application, by any chance?
- That makes total sense, George, more so than my hunch that this was a compiled database. The OP will want to verify this is the full version of Access.
If you start the Runtime version of Access (confusingly also called msaccess.exe), there is indeed hardly any menu.- How do I determine if it's the Runtime version of Access? I'm starting Access from the Program Start menu.
- As I wrote before: If you start the Runtime version of Access (confusingly also called msaccess.exe), there is indeed hardly any menu. For example there is no File > New.
