Missing toolbox

[Microsoft]

I have a existing access 2003 database that I wanted to add another button
but when I go into design mode my toolbar disappears and I only see the
grayed out "toolbox" icon. I ran detect and repair with no results. I
created
an new form and the "toolbox" is available. There seems to be a setting
within my existing form that is preventing the "toolbox" command from
showing. What do I need to do to turn this back on?

Check to see if you can put the form in design mode. Look under the
properties if editting is set to false. Furthermore there is the option a lot
of users use the macro to disable certain toolbars. So look for a possible
macro refreing to this specific form and settings.

I have no macros in this form. Since it is very simple. Just buttons to run
existing reports. In design view, properties the edit is set to yes. Thank
you for your help.

In that case try looking under the startup options of the db. Rightclick the
titlebar from the databasewindow and look under Start up. There you'll find
some checkboxes in regard to the various menu's. Maybe checking them will pop
up the toolbar again.

Turned off all checks and the toolboxes came back. Thanks for your help.
