Dear community, I have a customer who uses an old access frontend and it currently runs on Windows2000. It is a 32bit .mde file and unfortunatley I don't have the original so I cannot edit it or loo...
> I'm not even sure if these are standard menu items
These are standard menu items. The users may not use them. There is no way to get them back. We have a ribbon now, which replaces the menu bar. I don't see much of the ribbon in your second picture, but there may be a way to get it back. Start with File > Options > Customize Ribbon.

- Many thanks for the reply. The reason there isn't much of the ribbon in the photo is that it was taken when the database was running on Access Runtime. I thought that might be the reason as to why the menu's were not showing so I upgraded to a full version of Access but still having no luck. But the fact that you think these are standard menu's means I should be able to find them and add them to a cutsom menu in the Ribbon. Do you know if envoking a menu system like this from the VBA is possible or are you fairly sure these are standard? Hopefully I can get to site soon and see what these butttons do for myself and then maybe I replicate them. Many thanks.
