Default Actions missing from Menu Bar

The Actions menu is built by Outlook according to the context for the current folder. It it's missing completely, reset the Menu Bar.

I opened the Options tab (customize) and clicked Reset menu and toolbar usage
data. This did not bring back the Actions menu item.

You're missing just one item? Which?

Hi Sue, in all of my outlook forms there is File, Edit, View Insert, Format,
Tools, Actions, Help. There are two forms that do not have Actions therefore
I cannot update the form. They were outlook 2000 forms and we were upgraded
to 2003. The forms are all quite similar in layout and design. thank you.

Can't say that I've ever seen or heard of a similar case. I have no idea what the problem might be or how to fix it. Running Help | Detect and Repair would be a good first troubleshooting step.
