File->Make Project Greyed Out

[randem]

I have seen this problem on this site before but I cannot find it. I was working on ActiveX EXE and somehow the Make Project area in the File Menu got greyed out. Now I cannot compile anything. I saw a fix for this but I can't find it. Does anyone know what it is?

I haven't seen this sort of problem but if I have I would simply rebuild entire project by creating new and adding all objects from "bad" to new.

I've only had this problem once - In the end I found that the only way was to do as RhinoBull suggested, it will save you a lot of time I can assure you

Guys,

No, that wont work. VB is greyed out, not just that project. All project, even new projects are greyed out too. I had to un-install and re-install. But I know there was a fix for this and If this happened once it will happen again. Uninstalling and re-installing VB took considerable time and to have to do it repeatedly will be a problem.

Being that I don't know why VB did this in the first place. I did however when this happened got a new screen from VB that I never saw before and after that the iems were greyed out. So there has to be a reverse to the cause of the problem.

I got this to work by right-clicking the menu bar, selecting Customize, then selecting Menu Bar and clicking Reset.

Hope this works for you!

I know it's an old thread but I had to log in and say THANK YOU! Saved me a lot of grief.

There are many threads offering this same solution over many years. I'm not sure we ever did track it down to a specific one, but it seems to be caused by some buggy IDE add-in.
