Hello everyone,
I have inherited a database, created by someone else who has gone long time ago.
Now, we need to make changes to forms, reports and other objects.
The database is not secure under any work group file (MDW), since I can open the database.
However, I cannot open objects (forms, reports etc) in design view. I get a message [You don't have permission to read ...].
No, I don't have any permission to Read or Modify Design almost for all objects under [User and Group Permissions]. Moreover, all objects are assigned to Owner called <Unknown>. Access doesn't allow me to Change Owner, either (I open the database as Default User - ADMIN).

Question:
Is there any way to get into Design Mode?

Thanking you in advance.

Have you tried creating a new database and importing all the objects from this database?

 
Hi Lilliabeth,
yes, I did.
I doesn't help. I got the same message [You don't have permission to read ...].
