How to enable toolbox menu in the Access/VBA project?
I have an Access/VBA project project file (.mdb), but when I opened it, the View/Toolbox in the menu was disabled, I could not add textbox on this form. Also, in the code, when I add comment, the comment line I added doesn't change color to green. Could anyone tell what to do to? Thanks.

Just an afterthought- check the Tools>Startup options - everything should be checked.
