Have I just lost all the contents of my database?

[jool]

Hello all,

I had just created a startup screen which I wanted my access database
application to open automatically in.

On the tools menu I selected the startup option and specified the file I
wanted to appear in the startup. I used a form for this but noticed that a
forward and backwards navigation box appeared on this form, which I didn't
want. As such I went back into the startup option and unselected all the
checkboxes (hoping that one of them might correspond to the navigation box - I didn't reallt read them). I then closed down the database and opend it up again.
However, now, upon starting I only get the startup form I specified, and when
I close it I can't see my other forms and tables anywhere? I want to undo my
actions but only File Window and Help are available in the menu bar above.
Arrggghhh!!!!. I've searched for them everywhere but they all seem gone? Seems like a disaster.

Any help on recovering my work would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Adam

Just discovered that pressing shift when starting skips the start up screen. Phew....

Its even more fun when you disable that shift function - alter the code and forget how to reinstate it
