Small number of menus & options and no right click menu in form de

[Luis]

I have been asked to do some maintenance work on an access 2003 database.
when opening db main window it displays "MY_DATABASE: database (Access 2000
file format)".

The problem is that I cannot make any changes as I have a very small number
of menus and options:
File > Close / Exit
Format > (menu is only shown in form design mode but with no options)
Window > (tile, cascade, ...)
Help > (... normal help options)

....and that is all !!

So I don't know if the limited menus have to do with the db being in 2000
format or if this was a .mde renamed into .mdb, or what !! There is no
autoexec disabling menus so I don't know where else to look.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanx

Hi Kardan,

Thank you very much for your reply. It was the 'Allow Full Menus' option in
the Startup options that was unchecked.

Once I started with SHIFT and ticked the option it was all back to normal.

Thank you kindly.
