turn menus/toolbars back on in after disabling all in startup?
Hi all, I turned all menus/toolbars off in the startup for a database I was
working on to preview the "clean" user interface. Unfortunately I am now unable to get back to any of the menu/toolbars. The "View" drop-down menu is not on the menu bar anymore. Help!

Have you started the db while holding down the shift key? Then right-clicking
the menu bar area at the top, and selecting the menu. "hjc123" wrote: Hi all, I turned all menus/toolbars off in the startup for a database I was working on to preview the "clean" user interface.

turn menus/toolbars back on in after disabling all in startup?
I knew about holding down the Shift key while starting up the database, but
I'm having a problem making it work on a database that has a password on it. I have to let go of the Shift key to type in the password, but then unable to hit the Shift key again (or fast enough) before it finished loading up. I want to setup this database so that the users can't access the Full Menus (they keep messing up the designed forms, queries, etc...) but if I do that then I have a problem opening up the database with Full Menus so I can do work on it ... how do you get around using the Shift key when there is also a password prompt that pops up?

Try this sequence
Start up holding down the shift key. When the password prompt appears, let go of the shift key Type in the password (but don't hit tab or enter) Hold down the shift key Press enter or Tab If that doesn't work and your Password is all lower case letters then Enable CAPS LOCK Startup holding down the shift key Enter the password while holding down the shift key Press enter or tab while holding down the shift key John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007-2008 The Hilltop Institute University of Maryland Baltimore County Kevin wrote: I knew about holding down the Shift key while starting up the database, but I'm having a problem making it work on a database that has a password on it.

Thanks for the reply!
Fortunately I found the same answer a little later that day by searching another help board. This tip works great - why isn't it mentioned on the help screen in Access Help??!!?? It works like you said, I help down the Shift key while I opend the database, then was prmopted for the password. I typed in the password ... but before hitting Enter or clicking the OK button I held down the Shift key again .. and THEN clicked the OK button ... and Access started right up with Full Menus. Thanks again! "John Spencer" wrote: Try this sequence Start up holding down the shift key.
