Database protection - Old mdb completely locked out

[Yattaro]

Hi all,
I have an old *.mdb database that has nearly all controls locked out, if i click File and i'm unable to save or click options.
I have managed to get into the VBA, I'm not sure where to start looking for how they locked out all the database controls.
I'm sure its been locked out in the VBA somewhere, i just don't know what syntax to look for.
Placing the database into safemode wields no benefit.

Any advise would be appreciated.

bring the form in Design view.
check the Property Sheet->Data tab->Allow Edits, set it to Yes.
on VBA, "search" for Locked, if it is set to True (or -1) Set it to False (or 0).

I haven't found any controls that would lock out the ribbon bar and save options so far.
As an experiment, backed up the database and deleted all Objects from the database, table queries, modulus and forms and macros and it still locks out all the functions.

For what ever reason the 'File' 'Options' had its name changed to 'Privacy Options' from there i was able to Access the 'Access Options' and 'Current Database' options. At which point i enabled 'Allow Full Menus' and a few other options that had been disabled.
