In my VB editor Step Into, Step Over don't show in menu and if I press F8 all I get is a beep. If I press F5 or play button, empty macros window opens. Any ideas why or how to fix this?

in VBA Editor
Go to View-->Toolbars --> Click on Debug.
that will show the buttons you are looking for.

Thank you, I've got the debug toolbar now. Unfortunately still the same issue, beep and nothing happening when I try to step into the code.

I think I figured it out. Access VBA editor is not like Excel VBA editor where you can step into the code at any point with F8 or run with F5. The code needs to be initiated first from a button or other event on a form (with breakpoint at the beginning of the sub), then all the debug buttons in VB editor work as they should and you can step into the code. Not sure if it's just my version of Access, but at least I managed to get it working.
