VB6 IDE - menu editor greyed out...why?

I used VB about a month ago and I don't recall this being greyed out.
How do I get it back?
Thanks.

Ah, it's only when I load this particular project that the menu editor is
greyed out under 'Tools'.
If I start a new project, it's *not* greyed out.
What could I have done that causes the menu tool to not be available?

Changing the style of the form to one that does not support menu could
do that.

Hey group! I have a toolbar with a "DEVELOPER" menu. I have it so that it when the menu title is clicked, a pop-up form will appear if the user has not yet verified that he or she has developer privileges (this menu only appears when the user is set up as a developer, but i'm a bit paranoid on these matters i guess). My problem is that when the menu title is clicked, the form appears but so does the menu, and the menu has the focus,...

Hi everybody, I got the code for dimming a menu item from this group after looking for it for a long time thanks to those who share their experiences with the others :) The problem I'm facing is that it dims the wrong menu item!! Example, if I write "DoCmd.SetMenuItem 0, 2, , acMenuGray", it dims the 3rd command in the 2nd menu!! It's driving me crazy!

I have an Office 2003 database with custom menu bars that work fine under Access 2007 with the following exception. The Officelinks menu item, "Analyze it with Microsoft Office Excel" is grey out and won't work. Does anyone know why this is and what my options are. I'd much rather stick with the menu bar rather than revert to 2007's Ribbon.
