I suppose you could perform a fresh install of Access, download the Developer Extensions and install it again?

I am trying to avoid that, from what I read the setting which cause that problem is saved in the registery and needs to be handeled manually

Do you know how to get to the Registry key from the Registry Editor? If you do take a screenshot of it and I will compare it with what I have.

This should be the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Menu Add-Ins\&Add-In Manager

May not be exact but follow that path.

It's exactly what I have. You may have to resort to the fresh install then, unless someone else has other ideas.

Hello,

I had the same problem with my installation of the Access Developer Extensions on Access 2007. I was able to fix the problem by unpacking the developer extensions MSI file and copying the registry entries that it creates. Here are the registry entries that worked for me. You can just copy and paste the following text into a file with a .reg extension and double-click to run.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Access\Addins\AccessAddin.ADE]
"CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003
"FriendlyName"="Microsoft Office Access Developer Extensions COM Addin"
"Description"="Microsoft Office Access Developer Extensions COM Addin"
"SatelliteDllName"="accessde.dll"

Hope that helps!

Best regards,

Sam

Thanks you made my day, I read in a few places about that registry change but nobody had the text of the change itself. I ran the script and it works.

I knew someone will come to your rescue, thanks to edward

Awesome, I'm glad it worked for you as well!

Cheers,

I have installed Access Developer extension on my system to connect to the source control. but its not working , source control tab is not visible ...

For the Source Code Control tab to become visible, you do not only need to install the Developer Extensions (particularly the SCC-Plug-In) but you also need to have the client software for your source code control system (e.g. Team Foundation Server or Visual SourceSafe) installed.

If it still does not show up, the installer of your SCC-Client might not properly register the client libraries on installation. - Happens with some clients.
You then need to add the relevant registry key manually. Here is an explanation on how to set the default SCC Provider in the registry. That is written for Ivercy, my replacement of the MS-SCC-PlugIn, but it applies to both of them.
