suddenly menu items are empty, title of menu is showed, bat items of this
menu are removed. Can you help me?

Hum, are you running multiple users here?

Also, did you create new menus, or customize the built in ones? If you
customize the built in ones..they will not stay set from pc to pc.

Also, if this is multi-user application, then you need to split the database
into two parts..and give each user a front end...

The application is split in front-end and back-end. An mde file with forms,
reports, code, queries ... and others mdb files with tables only. I think
that this isn't the problem. Normally the application is a single user, but
it is designed for a multiple user.

The user menus are new. I have made a sub for creating the menus.

The problem: The user are worked for the application for several hours and
some moment the a item from some menu (the title) can't be opened, it is
empty menu.

Custom MenuBars and ToolBars in Access are prone to becoming corrupted. I would
try rebuilding them. Avoid copying sub-menus to create new ones and instead
drag a new one from the toolbox each time. I have seen cases where a copied
sub-menu seems to "confuse" Access and changes made to one of the copies end up
being propagated to both.

The symptom of the sub-menu losing all of its menu items is pretty common when
corruption occurs.
