accessing database (1 Viewer)

[Thedon123]

my colleague before me who created the database ha somehow locked it so thet i can only gain access to interface screen.

How would go about getting access to the main screen where i can update the database.

The dbase creates a script file *.xvs but as win 2000 has been installed the script file needs to be *.csf.

so how do i access the design areas

If the database is an MDE file then no go

Otherwise try Window / Unhide and see if that shows up the main database window. Failing that look at the security settings. If it is password protected then you will need to search for a program that can decode passwords!
