Access 2000 - Time Lock

[azwolf]

How do you get around a time lock for a Microsoft Access 2000 program?

I just took over a job where the previous employee placed a time lock on a company program. The Access program has an extension of .mde instead of .mdb

I used the system clock and back dated it and it will let me into the program again.

How do I get into the design mode and where would I look for this time lock programing code?

Thanks

You need the .mdb that is the 'source code' of the .mde. Without it your sunk. Often the .mdb will have the same or similar name as the .mde, but by no means is that guaranteed.

I time lock my demos and distribute them a .mde files.

As jsteph stated, you would have to have access to the original .mdb file to change or delete the date.

I have my date set in a Module. There is NO WAY to get to the design mode to change it in the .mde version.
