I am trying to secure my database. I only want people to be able to view the forms that I have created, not the underlying tables, queries, etc. When I open the database, I have it set-up so the menu form opens and the database window with all the tables, queries, etc is not viewed. To view the database window, I use the F11 hotkey. In the start-up menu, I found where to turn these specials hotkeys off, but then as the administrator, if I open the database, how do I open the database window? Every time I open the database now, all I get is my form and I can't get the database window to open?!?

Try holding the SHIFT Key down when you open the DB

Yeah...but remember that anyone else can also hold down the Shift key. This option should be disabled so that people can't do it. There are utilities out there which will allow you to disable/enable this on a database. But anything deployed to users should have the shift option key disabled.
