Why no toolbox?
Matthew Pearce 08.11.2005 10:54:02
I have Office 2002 installed. I am pretty comfortable with Excel VBA but
starting to use Access VBA for the first time.

When I try the menu option View > Toolbox, the option is grayed out. I
cannot display the toolbox. Am I missing something?

Access uses its own forms engine, not VBA's userforms. The toolbox is for
VBA userforms, so it's disabled in Access.

Thanks - I am getting the hang of the interface now ... a bit confusing at
first, thought I needed to reinstall something but now I realise that the
Toolbox I need is actually part of the Access window and not the VBA window.

I recognise your name as someone who has helped me a lot in the past
(indirectly through provision of code and so forth) - thanks for being so
generous with your help and expertise!
