Access 2003 - missing Menu Bar

[Juliet Alpha]

Just upgraded to Office 2003, ran Access 2003 and there is no Menu Bar. Any
reasons why?, and how do I get it to show please?

Checked out the 'new' versions of Word and Excel and they appear to be OK.
Just a problem with Access.

Any help would be appreciated, or should I go back to '2000?

When you open Access, can you click on FILE?.. if you can, then click on
NEW..

Thanks for your prompt reply Mike.

As I said, there is no Menu Bar at all - 'File' is part of the Menu Bar,
therefore the 'File' drop-down menu is not available.

Any other suggestions?

Regards

Juliet.

My mistake.. I always lump them together as tool bars..

You might want to try a repair install on Office.. run the Office CD and
select the 'repair' function..

Hi again Mike, or anyone out there.

I 'repaired' the Office installation as you suggested, but to no avail.

Looking at the Access window, there is the Title bar at the top followed by
the Tool bar, then nothing other than the grey background (which is what you
would expect prior to starting/creating an access application). Just no Menu
Bar.

Am I doing something daft, or do I have a faulty copy of Office 2003? On
intial installation of Office 2003, I did follow the prompts to download and
install any upgrades from Microsoft. Might there be a problem with these?

I am not an expert, but have been using Access to a basic/intermediate level
since Access-2, then 95, then 97, then 2000, then XP and now 2003. First time
that I have seen this problem, and as far as I know, there is no function to
'Switch-off' the Menu bar - is that right?

The OS on this machine is Windows XP (Home), SP2.

Hope to get a resolution soon. Thanks in advance.

Regards

Juliet Alpha.
