Editing a database application

[mcsheff]

I am trying to edit a database application. The forms need updating with new layout/info etc.

The database is password protected. I have managed to get hold of the password for admin so I can log on. I then say yes to enable startup keys, close the dbase and reopen with shift held down. This allows me to view the tables/forms etc.

The problem is when I click to open some of the forms it just closes access. Is it possible that the person who wrote the program, has put this in as some kind of security measure?

Cheers

Hard to tell, check the form load and other startup events for any code and see what it is doing.

When I go to look at any of the even procedures for the form. eg on click it asks me for a password Dont see how theres much I can do there. The guy who wrote it obviously didnt want anyone else changing it I guess.

Right I just managed to get in the form. I can move stuff around etc. But I want to add a new option (eg a new button/textbox) So I stick the object on the form, goto its properties cos I want to set its control source to a database table........and the data and event tabs are blank
