Security gone haywire - can't use menus and can't enable content

[Rene T]

I have a database that is behaving very oddly. All of a sudden, the menu
buttons are dead when clicked, just like when the content hasn't been
enabled. The database is in a trusted location, but macros are dead. I have
tried removing the trusted location from the security setting to see if the
menu will pop up so I can enable content manually - no luck; the menu never
appears, even when I change the setting saying I want the menu to do so. Any
ideas?

Things to try:

1 - Check the properties of the buttons.

a - Is [Event Procedure] selected for each button's on click event? Is
there code in the event procedure?

or

b - Is a macro name inserted for the click event? Does the macro do what
you expect?

2 - Check sandbox mode. You might have told Access to evaluate unsafe
expressions when you didn't mean to.

3 - Create a new db file and import all the objects from the old db file into
it. Compile and compact.
