Hi folks
I'm new here, great to meet you all, virtually!
I am using a front end database in .accde format and I would like to edit the forms and create reports, however this functionality is greyed out when I try and use the Create ribbon.
I found a 'solution' stating that I should open the front end by holding down the left shift button and double clicking the file in the folder, which will then open in a state that allows me to edit forms and reports. This is not happening for me. I have followed the advice to the letter, which includes holding down the Shift button until the database is fully open.
Can anyone shed light on what I'm doing wrong, or suggest an alternative method to allow me to edit the forms and reports?
Thanks in advance for any and all help that can be given.
