No Database window?

[pdbowling]

Hi, everyone.
I have an Access application that a previous employee wrote and it needs revision. When I open the file (Tracking.mdb), it goes straight in to the program and hides the database window and Access Menu Bar. How do I gain access to the tables and reports and such without these?

I just have a form that I can switch to design view but I still can't see the tables or reports or anything. That's it.
Any clues out there?

PB,

Try holding down the Shift key when starting the db.

The db objects might be hidden. To see all the hidden objects...

Tools / Options / and select to show the Hidden Objects

If you forget to hold the shift key when you open the database, try hitting F11. If the shortcut keys are not disabled, then it should work.
