Is there anyway to make the full menu and toolbars re-
appear after you have gotten rid of them? I couldn't
figure it out and so I imported database into new database
with full menus and now it says I have no network
connection when I press a command (find record...)button.
Can someone help?

I'm guessing that the "network connection" error is due to this bug ...

.... which applies to Access 2000 and was fixed by Office 2000 SP3.
However, you may be able to open your original, uncorrupted database
with the full menu and toolbars, by holding down the Shift key as you
open it. Try that before worrying about the corrupted version. But if
you are using Access 2000 and haven't applied SP3, you should certainly
do so, as that bug is a real show-stopper.
 
First of all, I'm guessing you are running Access 2000. If so, I strongly
suggest that you apply Office 2000 SP3. See this posting for further
information.

Now, to reset your toolbars and menu bar.

Type Ctrl+G to get to the immediate window. In the window type

DoCmd.ShowToolbar "NameOfToolbar" acToolbarWhereApprop

This will reset the toolbar to show up at the default time. You will need to
do this for each toolbar.


If you have turned off the Allow Default Toolbars in the Startup Options
window, use this to reset that option then close and reopen Access.

RunCommand acCmdStartupProperties

This would also be done in the immediate window. It will open the Startup
Options dialog so that you can recheck the checkbox.
