How is the Query Designer toolbar enabled?

Clicking Query, Dsign Query in Editor opens a Query designer in a model window that does not use the query tool bar. Oening a New Query pane does not enable it.

The nly way I have found to activate the query tool bar is to:

1. Right click a table then click open table.
2. Stop retreving data. (if it is a large table)

Now the Query Designer toolbar is enabled.

What is the correct way to enable the Query Designer toolbar?

just right click anywhere on the toolbar area and you'll see a list of toolbars you can add.

I am not trying to add the Query Designer toolbar. I have it docked at the top of the window. I want to enable it. The only way i have found to enable it is by the method described above.

as I understand it, those toolbars are supposed to become enabled/disabled depending on context, which kind of window has focus, etc.

I have one of my databases active. With a query pane open. But the query tool bar does not activate.

What kind of pane is opened when an open table is performed? How can properly open that type?

An MVP tells me this is the only way to do it. Go figure?!

1. Right click a table then click open table.
2. Stop retreving data. (if it is a large table)
