Hi PhilB,do the following.

I LOST MY FILE MENU BAR. HOW TO REPLACE IT BACK???

SOLUTION:

There are four possible causes for this issue:

1: The Windows System Registry is corrupted.
2: The BusinessObjects VBA script for the toolbars is corrupted.
3: The video driver is causing conflicts on the system.
4: The bar(s) has been dragged out of the monitor screen.

TRY USING THIS IN BO XIR2

FOLLOW THE BELOW STEPS TO ENABLE THE FILE MENU BAR

  1. Make sure that the Business Objects module is open and active.

  2. 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”:

    TYPE THIS>>>>>>Application.cmdbars.Activemenubar.visible = true
                                                
                                   AND PRESS ENTER THE FILE MENU BAR WILL BE BACK.

IF IT CAUSED BY WINDOWS REGISTRY KEY CORRUPTION

IT IS EASILY SOLVED BY ALTERING THE REGISRTY MANUALLY BY JUST DELETING A FOLDER
