Access 2003 macro security tab is missing after upgrade from office XP

[gary.l]

I just upgrade from office XP to Office 2003 on a window
XP machine. One new feature in Office 2003 is that the
security setting for Macro is added in Access 2003. I
hope to adjust the macro security level in Access 2003
to "Low" level so the warning message will not show up
each time I open my Access database. But for some
reasons, I can not see the macro security setting, the
security tab in the macro menu is missing. I tried
uninstall office XP completely, then fresh install office
2003 again, still no luck, the Security tab in the Macro
menu still does not show up. But when I installed Office
2003 in another machine with fresh installed windows XP,
the security tab will show up. How do I unhide the
security setting tab from Access 2003?

Thanks

Hey Gary,

This has been driving me crazy for the longest time. I finally found out how
to get the security menu item to show. You will kick yourself in the butt
once you see how simple the fix is.

Here we go...

"Reset" the Macro toolbar.

Cheers,
Brian
