I tried these possible solutions and nothing worked. In access I have all
of the options until I preview a report and most of my menu options
disappear. All I have left is "File" and "Window". Under "File" is
"Close" and "Exit". I am baffled because it has worked fine in other
operating systems for years.

Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Brent
