SYMPTOMS
When you convert a Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0 database
that contains a custom menu bar called Menu Bar to Microsoft Access 97, the
database will contain two toolbars named Menu Bar once the menu bar macro
is run. One toolbar is the default toolbar that comes with Microsoft Access
97, and the other toolbar is the converted menu bar from Microsoft Access
7.0.

RESOLUTION
To avoid the confusion that may arise from having two toolbars with the
same name, you should rename the converted menu bar to something other than
Menu Bar.
