Access Options 2007/2010 'missing options'

[ted.martin]

In Access Options, Current database, Ribbon and Toolbar Options,

Menu Bar and Allow Built-in Toolbars are not showing.

I want to customize the Ribbon Toolbar etc but it seems I need these two options and they are now shown.

Any thoughts how to get them would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well, seeing as I am not confident that I know what you're asking, I'm going to give it my best guess.

In File, Options, Trust Center -> Trust Center, Add-ins Is a few options that may be valuable to you.

If you are trying to import a customization file go to:
File, Options, Customize Ribbon and click on the Import/Export combo box.

If you would like any more help on finding what it is that you're looking for. Just give me more information on what it is that you're doing and I will be glad to help

Thise options are only available if you open a legacy database. Are you saying that is what you are doing and you still don't see them? Or did you convert your database to .ACCDB format?

I am opening a Blank database in Access 2007 (have also done same on a 2010 version) with the same problem.

In the Options/Current Database/Ribbon and Toolbars Option, the Menu Bar and Allow Built-in Toolbars are not showing. Simple as that.

My intention is to create a new application and then build the Menu structure through Ribbon Customisation following the solution here. http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10949/1816/ConstructMenus.html?sequence=1

As you can see just over half way down, I need the Menu Bar option which I don't have.

Thanks

And if you download the example you will see it's in .MDB format. So, unless you downgrade to .MDB format you will not see those options.

Yes; that's it Gina - Thank you. So if I want to mess with the menu structure in 2007/2010 I will have to find another way.

Or embrace the Ribbon...
