NOW SOLVED (see bottom of this post)
I inherited a database to change.
I've edited an accdb file (changing the linked tables), which all works fine - all data now being read from/written to the new location.
I now want to create the accde. When I Save As I get the message:
"You cannot create .accde from a disabled database ... you can create it by using the message bar."
When I click on the message bar the whole menu disappears so I can no longer do a Save As and cannot create the .accde (nor anything else, of course). Whenever I open that .accdb file now the menu is missing. On screen I've only got the Form and, on the left hand side, the "All Access objects" column.
How do I get the menu back? The database is in a trusted location. I've tried shift clicking, but that doesn't change anything.
Thanks.
SOLUTION: I used Alt+F11 to get to the code, the added the following line to the Form's onload section:
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarYes
