Can't access database objects from view dropdown menu

Hi. Anyone know why I'd be able to see this option in all my other databases, except one? Is there a setting or code that prohibits this option?

I am not the database owner, but am trying to troubleshoot it. I can not see any of the tables, queries, forms, reports, modules, or macros.

The db opens to a switchboard but when I minimize it, I get nothing else...where I usually have the objects menu.

Any help is appreciated!! Thank you!
 
Again "Access Version?"

What exactly do you see when you open the database when holding down the shift key? Do you see the database window? Do you see the switchboard?

Are all of the objects set to hidden?

I saw the switchboard. We got it figured out though. Its under the tools menu, startup, and check the display database window option. Unchecked, you get nothing, checked, you get the database objects. Thanks!!
