Shortcut menus are gone and I can't get them back

[paron]

When I right-click on a form in the database window, nothing happens.

"Allow Default Shortcut Menus" is checked in the Startup Options.

When I check "Shortcut Menus" in the Customize Toolbars dialog, the menubar shows up at the top of the application, but then goes away when I close the dialog.

I am stymied, here. Anyone know how to get them working again?

Hi!

Another place you look is at the property sheet for the forms on the Other tab there is a property call Shortcut Menu and it should say yes there.

Dear Paron,

In the Startup Options:
"Allow Default Shortcut Menus" Should be checked.
"Allow Full Menus" Should be checked.
"Allow Built-in Toolbars" Should be checked.
"Allow Toolbars/Menu Changes" Should be checked.

Then:
When you open a form in design mode(example), if menu still does not show Then from access window
View > Tooldbars > and then checkoff what you want to see.

Hope This Helps,
Hap

Thanks, everyone, but I had already done those things. It's not a problem with the forms, but with Access or with the .mdb file or something.

I tried reinstalling Access, no joy. Any other ideas?

No, I ended up putting a little function in the startup form of every .mdb

    Dim cb As CommandBar
    For Each cb In Application.CommandBars
        If cb.Name = "Menu Bar" Then
        Else
          cb.Enabled = True
        End If
    Next cb

What a kludge. I suppose it's some setting in the .INI file or something.

thanks VERY much Ron, that worked...
I feel handcuffed w/o my shortcut menus,
would've had to reload Windows or something.
you're right it's probably some stubborn reg setting...
