Can't see design view

[Guest]

Hi there,

I have inherited a db and need to make changes. The problem is that I can't
get to the form's design view, the command is greyed out. I'm not prompted
for a password so I don't think there are user permissions. What would
likely get me into design view?

Thanks!

Are you opening the db while holding down a <SHIFT> key?

Is this an mdb file, or an mde file. If mde, you can't access design view
for a form (but you should be able to design a table or query).
