SYMPTOMS
When you explore a Web page that you select from the Web toolbar in
Microsoft Access 97, the Back button is enabled in Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 3.0, but nothing happens when you click it.
Back to the top
CAUSE
If you use the Web toolbar in Microsoft Access 97 to explore a Web page,
but you do not have a database or a database object open, there is no
current database to reference when it is time to move back. Therefore,
clicking the Back button does not do anything.
Back to the top
RESOLUTION
Make sure there is a database open when you start Microsoft Internet
Explorer from the Web toolbar in Microsoft Access. Then when you click the
Back button, there will be an open database to return to.
NOTE: In some circumstances, such as when you select or type a Uniform
Resource Locator (URL) in the Address box of the Web toolbar, you must have
an object open in your database first. For example, open a table, a form,
or a module, and then type a URL in the Address box to start Microsoft
Internet Explorer. The Back button will work as expected.

MORE INFORMATION
The expected behavior when you click the Back button in Microsoft Internet
Explorer is for that program to close, and for the focus to return to
Microsoft Access 97.
