Help unlocking the detail view please

[reeljustice]

I haven't used Access in a couple of years. I created a DB some years ago where I did not want the users to be able to view/change the forms, queries, etc.

I only wanted them to be able to view the "finished" product and do the data input.

I remember there was an "alt+key" combination I hit when I opened the db file in order to view/change queries, forms, etc.

Now, I've forgotten the key combination at open which allows me to see the details of the db.

I have some formulaes in that old db that I now need.

Could someone please advise on the key combination at open which will allow me to view/modify the details of the db?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Joel

Open your DB with the shift key depressed.

Hope This Helps, PH.
