Access 2000 Database "Compact & Repair" Missing from Tools
Dropdown fields.

It was working just fine, then lately it has disappeared!
Any ideas? / Help?

Thankyou
 
Are your full menus on? See if there is 2 arrows down at
the bottom of the menu. If there is, your full menus are
not on and you will have to expand them. Other than that,
I wouldn't know what to do.

Hope this helps!

PS. To keep full menus on at all times, you have to go
into the tools menu, customize, click on the options tab.
There should be a checkbox for "Always show full menus."
If you do this, your menus will stay open all the time and
you wont have to go searching for it.
 
Full menus are on, still no Repair Compact.

Also no security... seems like maybe I might have
permissions interferring, but I have set no permissions.
When I try to enter the database as EXCLUSIVE, there is no
change. Do you suppose that I have lost some of my
features? and need to reinstall Access 2000?

Thanks to everyone!
 
Hello Joan!!

Thank you so much for unlocking the mystery for me!!!
I tried resetting as you suggested the Menu Bar via
Toolbars from the TOOLS CUSTOMIZE menu. So you led me
to the right area.... actually the thing that did it was
the button just below that... to recap: in Customize on
the toolbars tab, button below the Reset button called
PROPERTIES - I clicked on RESTORE DEFAULTS on the lower
left corner.
That was the magic button... Thanks so much for putting an
end to my frustration! Greatly appreciated!!!! have a
great day!
Sue
