outlook 2007 forward bar greyed out

In outlook 2007 the forward bar is greyed out.
The user can go to tools and foreward messages that way but needs the bar back

This could happen for two main reasons;

   1. You have no email account configured (anymore).
      To configure an account choose Tools-> Email Accounts or Tools-> Account Settings
      (the exact naming depends on your version of Outlook)
   2. Your version of Outlook hasn’t been activated yet or your trial has expired.
      To activate your version of Outlook choose Help-> Activate Product…
      If your trial version has expired you’ll need to buy an Outlook license if you want to continue using Outlook.
Go to Help> Detect and Repair.
did you try this ?

start > run

outlook /cleanprofile

See if that brings back the forward bar
--
Other option:
close outlook

Go here
Start > Run > 
type
%userprofile%\application data\microsoft\outlook

rename outcmd.dat to - outcmd-old.dat


start > run >
type
outlook /cleanprofile

Restart - then deselect FROM field

See if it works
