Hi There,
I have this application that is using forms but i want to make some changes in the forms but the form will not let me do it any thing. In other words, i would like to see the table names, the queries and see the codes but when i open the the program (Access) the form will pop up and i don't know how to view the tables or the queries etc. I cannot even see the design view. Pls. help. thanks.
 
Welcome to Access World Forums. Are you opening an .mdb file or an .mde file?
 
I am trying to open mdb file
 
It almost sounds like the database is opening read only. Where are you opening it from and do you have sufficient rights (Read/Write/Delete) for doing so?

You aren't opening it from a CD are you?
 
but when i open the the program (Access) the form will pop up and i don't know how to view the tables or the queries etc.

Maybe in Tools - Startup the app is set up to open a form on opening Access? Try holding down the <Shift> key then opening the database and see what happens, or from the intial form hit <F11> and see if that brings up the Objects Dialog box.

Thanks chief. It is working now after i hold the shift key.
 
Glad you got it open! Let the fun begin!

BTW, be sure to make a copy of the databse and put it somewhere safe before you begin making changes!
