hidden/secure forms and tables

[northernbeaver]

A client of mine had an employee that created a Microsoft Database. if you hold the shift key down and open the DB no forms or tables appear so you cant see the data/forms/etc. is there a way to bipass this? I dont condone hacking but the data belongs to them not the (now terminated) employee. any ideas?

Have the tables been hidden?

yes if you open the access DB by holding the shift key down so the form doesnt auto load. the db appears to be blank, not one form, table, or anything.

I mean, under Tools->Options, on the View tab, is Hidden Objects unchecked? If so, does checking it help?
