View Database Window/Menu Items

[T111]

I got a database and cannot view the database window. When opened it displays a switchboard window. I tried to hold down F11 but nothing happens. I tried to import to a new database but its password protected(and I don't know the password). Can anyone tell me how to turn off compact and repair option?

To view the database window, hold down shift when you open it.

Hope this helps

and I don't know the password
Ask the owner.

I can't get to the prompt when viewing the code to ask for the password and if I could talk to the owner (he’s gone it’s for a charity organisation) I would!
