Im working on a database that has had the 'AllowFullMenus Property' ticked on the data startup tab.

But seeing as this restricts the menu's how on earth do i go about getting the full menus to return?

The help file says :-
To set the AllowFullMenus property by using a macro or Visual Basic, you must first either set the property in the Startup dialog box once or create the property in the following ways:

In a Microsoft Access database (.mdb), you can add it by using the CreateProperty method and append it to the Properties collection of the Database object.

but could someone translate that into english please

 

erm anyone lol?

 

So the DB is loaded with the menus locked down (so to speak) and you want to enable them again via code?

 

yeah, that would seem the only way to re-enable locked down menus.
either in vb or macros, just don't know what to say or where to put it lol.

 

Ahh, try the back door...

As you click to the load the file, say it's recent file #1 on the File menu, hold down shift. Overides any startup code.
