This worked up until today. When I try to import a table there isn't an
option for Get External Data. The only options shown in File are "Close",
"Search" and "Exit".

This was probably done for a good reason, but if you want the default menus
and toolbars back, go into the db's startup options and make sure the "Allow
full menus" and "Allow built in toolbars" check boxes are checked. Next time
you open the db, the built in menus with Get external data will be there.

Thanks Chris for your help - but no this wasn't done for a good reason. I
created the database myself - someone else might have been fooling with it.
