Disabled buttons on Access 2007 Ribbon
I'm developing an ADP project under Access 2007 (SP1, I believe) on Windows
XP2002 SP3. Most buttons on the "Database Tools" ribbon are disabled (all bar 4 - Visual Basic, Run Macro, Add-ins, Make ADE). I desperately need the Relationship window but its button is disabled. How do I enable it? Or is the fact that they're disabled indicative of some other problem? |

Thanks for the link, Brendan, which I'm about to investigate - however, in this case the back end is SQL Server 2000. |

As far as I know, the design features should work with SQL Server 2000, but I don't have an instance of SQL Server 2000 available to test against. Could it be a permissions problem? -- Brendan Reynolds |

(Follow-on) Hmm, that was unnerving! Well, clearly the client hasn't snuck SQL 2008 in under my nose and not told me - stored procedures & views designers are working fine; table design works but is often GLACIAL at opening tables in design view (and then similarly slow at aligning the columns/lookup data with the field selected - it's a bit disconcerting to scoot down a 30-field table and get the impression that every field is the identity field...I sense another question looming!) Anyway, even if the client wanted to spend more money, your pointer is sufficient for me to advise against it, at least until Office catches up... Thanks! |
