Menu bar not showing after API Call

[Afrosheen via AccessMonster.com]

Thanks for reading this.
I'm trying to get my custom menu bar working after an API call that maximizes
the screen. It is from a Login form that puts the form on the desktop. These
are the two routines that I'm using. The problem is that when Access Hides
and then reopens [Maximizes] it maximizes so big that none of the menus are
showing. Not even my custom menu which I need. Maybe there's something in the
code that shuts out everything else. I don't know

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
10 On Error GoTo ErrorPoint
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSizeToFitForm 'Sets up the Login Screen

Me.Visible = True
DoEvents
fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDE)

ExitPoint:
40 Exit Sub

ErrorPoint:
50 MsgBox "The following error has occurred:" _
& vbNewLine & "Error Number: " & Err.Number _
& vbNewLine & "Error Description: " & Err.Description _
, vbExclamation, "Unexpected Error"
60 Resume ExitPoint

End Sub


Private Sub Form_Close()
fSetAccessWindow (SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
40 Me.Visible = False
50 Application.CommandBars("myMenu").Enabled = True
70 DoCmd.OpenForm "frmLinkToDatabases"

End Sub

Maybe it's because you hid it? Ya think?

Try sticking this in a standard module named Utilities, and running it from
the Debug (Immediate) window:

Function ShowMenu()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.ShowToolBar "Menu Bar", acToolbarYes
End Function

Thanks for getting back to me Marvin. When I run Access and look at the
window, the custom menu is there. I also have it in the start program under
Menu Bar, Allow full menus, and allow short cut menus are checked also.

Maybe it's because you hid it? Ya think?

Try sticking this in a standard module named Utilities, and running it from
the Debug (Immediate) window:

Function ShowMenu()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.ShowToolBar "Menu Bar", acToolbarYes
End Function

Arvin. I put the code as per your instructions and ran it in the immediate
window and it gave me an:

Ambigous name detected: ShowMenu

I found out where the ambigious statement was. It seems I already had that
statement in a function. But that still didn't work when I called the
statement.

You may have saved the module with the same name as the function. Change the
module name.

Try changing the line where you maximize to:

SW_SHOWNORMAL

You can maximize or restore your application with a simple:

DoCmd.Maximize

DoCmd.Restore

Good morning Arvin,

Using the SW_SWOWNORMAL appeared to make it work. I also had to put:

Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
Next i

On Open statement to make sure the menu didn't show up. [Still under testing]

and,
Application.CommandBars("myMenu").Enabled = True

Thanks for your help.
