My default menu in Access 2003 is completely missing. I've tried reset
the toolbars and programatically enumerating all the toolbars/menus in
order to revive it. I've also tried reinstalling Access on the PC and
just cannot get the default menu to return.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
James

Is this with a database loaded, or with no database?

Try logging in to windows as someone else.

If the toolbar is there, the problem is in your user profile

HKCU\software\microsoft\office\n\access\settings\c ommandbars

If the toolbar isn't there, the problem is either in
the database, or in the installation.

You're exactly right. I deleted the CommandBars hive and when I
restarted Access the menus were there.

This has been driving me nuts - thanks so much for your help,
