Access Designer 1

[egolds]

I have recently taken over a position and one of my first tasks is to make some modifications to a database. The trick is the person who programmed it set it up to hide the database window and all icons except for simple printing, page setup etc.

How can I get to the form/report designer?

Thanks

F11 key will bring up the database window, aslong as he hasnt disabled special keys

When you go to select the application you want to run in Access. Hold down the shift key as you double click on the file or shortcut icon until the database is loaded completely. You will know when it is finished, because Access will be open is your system tray.

both were very helpful, the F11 didn't work apparently the programmer had disabled this but the Shift on open worked perfectly.

Thanks,
