"unlocking" my DB

[macska]

Hi,

I created an access DB and "locked" the working version (i.e. selected the settings where users could not see the full menu bar). I had another version that I was working on to improve/upgrade the DB, but that one got corrupted and I only have the working version left. Now, I don't want to have to re-create the DB from scratch and would like to know if there is a way to get the full menu bar to show up, so that I can access the admin options on the DB?

Thank you!!!

I am not sure if this will work, but try opening the database by holding shift and double clicking it, should bypass the startup procedure and allow you to see your stuff... hope this works for you

Failing that open a new database and import all tables/queries/forms/reports etc

Cross5900,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I am sooooooooooooooo relieved; thought I was going to have to start from scratch (weeks of work).

I have definitely learnt my lesson and will be soooo much more careful from now on.

Again, a big Thank you!

no prob, I had no clue how to do it till a co-worker sent me a dbase to help me figure out how to make these things auto-update, and he mentioned that. Glad it worked.
