[AccessD] Decompile / compile

I'm using Access 2003 (previous s/b the same)

Be sure to open a code window and select View | Toolbars | Customize from
there.  Then select the Commands tab and click on the Debug category.  If
they're not there I'm really puzzled.

Which button is at the top of the Command list on your screen?

I am not finding the buttons you are describing.
