Can't find login forms

I've inherited maintenance responsibility for an Access application that has
two customized login forms. The first one appears when the db is opened and
has three radio buttons and a command button for the different types of
users. the next form asks for the users username and password.

Here's the problem. There's only one form in the database---the main
application form that shows up after users login.

I can't find the login forms or the code associated with them. The reason I
need to examine this is that some people are having problems and others
aren't and I suspect it has to do with the different login groups.

There are no forms listed in the startup menu.

Does anyone know where I can find out more about these startup forms?

Go to Tools - Options - View and check the boxes that allow you to see hidden
and system objects. Do you see the forms then?

It is also possible that the forms come from an Add-In or code referenced file
rather than the file you are actually running. Check the Add-Ins list and or
open a code window and look at Tools - References.

Also you could actually be opening a starter app that provides the login forms,
launches the real app, and then closes itself. Do you have to use a specific
shortcut to launch your app or can you just double-click the file?

Is some other form being called by the Startup options? Is there and
AutoExec Macro that opens a form?
