Access 2007 and menus

[MarionD]

Hi all,

After searching through the "search" field, I realize lots of us are having problems with the menu's in access 2007.

After converting my 2003 DB to 2007, my menus are still there, but displayes as Add-ins instead of as the menu bar. I can't find any options to change during the conversion.
I have tried importing my Logon window with the options "menus and icons" clicked, but this didn't change anything.
If I open the DB in 2003 Format, then go to the options in Access 2007 I can choose the menubar, but if I convert to 2007, the menubar is only available as add-ins. Is there any way round this?

Appreciate any help - it is so time consuming trying to figure this out - and I seem to go round in circles, ticking options on and off... perhaps some dear soul has already found the answer!

Hi there and thanks for the link. The only problem is that once you've converted to 2007, the option to select your menubar doesn't exist anymore. Only the select Ribbon and select shortcut options are there. In the 2003 version running on 2007, the option is there and selected. It all works fine on 2007, until I convert. It just ignores the selected menu bar and shows them as add-inns
