Hi All,
I have encountered with a strange problem. Menu Bar is not displayed.

One of my report was troubling, like when ever i refresh the report it was going into “Not Responding” State. So I ended the task few time through task manager. I thinl this is the problem.

Can any body plese let me know how do i get back my Menu bar.

Regards
Chetan

I have encountered the same problem on BO 513 under windows xp at startup because this release was not supported by XP. Did you check the PAR. In our case, we have to press esc key to make it re-appear.

then, it’s not the same trouble. Is the same problem in all modules (designer, supervisor)

Is it occuring still in the same circonstances? Can it be reproduce ? Maybe is it logged (or you can log it) as a bug. Did you check Bo techsupport about it ?

Because you are in 6.1.3, it may has been fixed in 6.5.1

Probably obvious but have to tried to right click and choose Toolbars?

Why should he? He is not missing a toolbar but a Menu Bar.

I had a missing menubar once, it happened while having several 6.1a sessions open. For just one session the menubar dissapeared. Problem never re-appeared. I could still use short-cuts like and .

Probably just need to change a registry setting. See this post for all the gory details!

Hi all,

Can someone tell me what PAR is? What does it stands for and what exactly it does and where can I find it?

Thanks,

This fixes the problem in 5.1.3:

Resolution-Missing Menu Bar in BO

  1. Login to Business Objects Full client.
  2. When it is open, Press Alt +F11 to activate the VBA Window.
  3. Press CTRL + G for the “Immediate Window” if it is not already open.
  4. Type the following line into the “Immediate Window”:
    application.cmdbars.activemenubar.visible = true
  5. Click Enter.

I’ve encountered this a couple times, try opening the registry (caution)
Go to
Software/Business Objects/Suite 6.0/default/BO/Application Preferences/BusinessReporter/BusinessObjects/Toolbar-Bar3/ folder. Look for the word “Visible” and delete it.
You may need to also check Toolbar-Bar4
Good Luck!

My menu bar disappeared when I restarted my full client 5.1.7 after my system was force rebooted last night with the application open. I uninstalled/reinstalled but to no avail. I also tried the VB thing but that didn’t work either. Any more ideas? :confused:

I tried doing a search using keywords toolbar registry to find another place this has been discussed before. I suggest taking a look at this topic to see if it has additional suggestions which you haven’t tried yet.
