I have created a database for the the radiation safety dept. at my school.
The database is on a school network so I enabled the password feature and
also changed the start up options so that the other people in our office
would not be able to edit the program at all. I ran into one problem with
that though...I can't get back in to edit the program at all.

In the start up menu under tools I UNchecked the check boxes for "display
database window", "display status bar", "allow full menus", "allow default
shortcut menus", and "allow built-in toolbars", and the program is set to
open to the main switchboard.

How can i reverse that so I can get back in to the program to edit some
things??


Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Hold down the 'shift' key as you open the database. If it's secured, you
type in your password and then hold shift key down and hit 'ok' on the login
dialogue window.

That will bypass the startup settings.
