Jet 4.0 SP8 and Tools->Macro->Security

Okay, I'm getting a little frustrated here.

I upgraded to Office 2003 Pro and when I opened a
database in Access, I got a security message about
updating to Jet 4.0 SP8. Of course, I could not find the
SP but the database opened anyway after wading through a
couple of additional message boxes. Over the weekend, I
ran Windows Update and lo and behold, Jet 4.0 SP8 was
available and I installed. However, when I opened a
database, I got the same error message. I found it at
another source and ran it again. I still get a security
warning whenever I open an existing database.

Also, I have found several mentions regarding a Security
menu that is supposed to be under Tools->Macro->
Security. However, I cannot find any such menu item. One
post on the newsgroup suggested resetting the toolbars
which I did, again with no effect.

Am I going to have to just live with these annoying
security messages?

I am running Office 2003 on Windows XP with all the
latest patches, service packs, etc. I upgraded from
Office XP Pro.

Thanks in advance for any information and suggestions.

Just to add a little extra info to my previous post--

I also have a laptop with Windows XP on which I upgraded to Office 2003 Pro and download/installed Jet 4.0 SP8. The Security menu IS THERE under Tools-> Macro. Everything works as advertised.

Should I just uninstall and reinstall?

Thanks in advance!

Kenny, perhaps you are not resetting the menu bar properly.
View, toolbars, customize.
Select (i.e. highlight) the toolbar named 'Menu Bar', and click on the Reset
button.
