Main Toolbar disappears.

The main toolbar with the arrows for navigating from record to record, find, etc. disappears.  I removed the toolbar from a few windows that are controlled by buttons - to add related records, but the main window should have the toolbar.  I have to recover the file to get them back and when I close the file they disappear again.  I can't figure out how to fix this. 

- Under "File Options" - Hide all toolbars is NOT checked. 

- I have no custom menus - the only menu set is Standard FileMaker Menus

Where else can I look to fix this setting? 

Thanks much for the help!

Are you sure there are no scripts or script triggers hiding the toolbar, like OnFirstWindowOpen for the file or OnWindowOpen?

Ctrl + Alt +S toggles the toolbar, so no need to recover.

You have advanced.  Open the script debugger, close the file, open the file and see if any scripts are hiding the toolbar.

saves my life!  I looked all over the web for something and the only thing I could find was to recover the file. 

There are no script triggers used at all in this file. 

The File Options includes a "Switch to layout" but as I said, the hide all toolbars box is not checked. 

I will go through each of the scripts that I have that relate to this window and see if somehow I added something to change the toolbars on the main window, rather than just the windows that open to add related records. 

This is very helpful.  Thanks much!

Hi Lea,

Why not attach a copy or mockup of your file.

Thanks Lee.  I will do that next time.

Hazzah!  I found it.  In Layout Setup > General: Menu Set was set to "File Default" rather than Standard FileMaker Menus. 

Jeepers.  Thanks all!
