"Oops"- Please Help?

[VickyC]

Good Afternoon,

I have created a Risk Management Database at work, I am a little rusty on Access, but everything seemed to be working nicely.

I then decided to add a Switchboard to link to Forms and Reports.

This again was working lovely.

I then decided to try and hide, everything only showing the switchboard, as one of the people that is going to use the database has a tendancy to play and I did not want him to mess it up..

Anyway, this was not a good Idea as I went into tools and Startup and then unticked some of the options to see what would happen? I closed it down and reopened it and like I wanted the database was hiden only showing the switchboard. Although on some options it is erroring and I tried to go back into Startup from the tools menu, only to discover that his has gone?

Please can anyone help with retrieveing it?????

Maybe holding the shift key down while it opens will get you back where you need...???

Isnt there also another format access can save in, not an mdb, which allows users still to enter data etc but wont let them play with design view, tables etc...?

I REALLY like the "Holding down the shift key" code.
I use it all the time and it seems like the way to go if you want to avoid work group security.
