Main Menu has disappeared!

Hi guys. On one of computers, the Main Menu is not showing in Access XP.
This is regardless of the project opened, or even if you open Access directly
with no project.
I am talking about the main Access menu that has
File Edit View Insert Format Tools Window Help.

Can any tell me how to turn it back on please?
Thanks

Hello,

I understand that menubar in Access XP is missing ont a computer. If I'm
off-base, please let me know.

Based on my experience, this issue might be caused by some corrupted
registry key in user profile. If Toolbar is still avaialble, you may try
the following steps to reset it:

1. right click the Tool Bar and select 'Customize'
2. select the Toolbars tab and then click on 'Properties'
3. goto the 'Selected Toolbar' dropdown and look for 'Menu Bar'
4. click 'Restore Defaults
5. Check if the issue still occurs.

If this does not resolve the issue, you may want to log on as a new Windows
user to the computer to see if the issue persists. If it does not occur,
please export the following registy key in regedit:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Settings\CommandBars

After that, you may want to log on as the original user, and double click
the exported REG file to import it to the user.

If you have any update, please feel free to let's know. I look forward to
your reply. Thank you!
