How to reverse hiding of database window / toolbars

[Guest]

To make my database more user-friendly and to protect it from unauthorized
editing, I used the hide features in the Tools, startup menu. Now, whem I
startup the database I cannot return to mediting / configure ode directly evn
if I want to.... (I turned myself into a guest...) Now I know there is a way
to workaround by holding a key and starup my database directly from the
windows explorer. In this way the toolbars and database-window should appear.
Anyone knows Which keys to hold on startup?

Hold the shift key down,
or if you didn't disable this key, if the MDB runs, you missed the shift
key, the F11 key should bring database window back to the front.

Need help making the database window appear. SHIFT key not working.

I have developed an application such that the database window and most
toolbars are hidden, unless the SHIFT key is held down. (as referenced
below) It works fine, except when the application is distributed. After
some use by the end user, the application will not load if the SHIFT key is
held down. The only way to get the application to load is to refrain from
holding the SHIFT key. Letting the application load and then pressing the
F11 key does not work, as the database window will not appear.

This is odd, because it is only after some regular use by the end user, that
the application becomes like this. When it is first distributed, the SHIFT
key operation works fine and as expected. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

1. What happens w.r.t. to the MenuBar, Toolbars when you try to use the
Shift Key?

2. Did you have code anywhere in the Database to disable the BypassKey?

It is possible that the Database Containers window "hides" in a corner.
After you use the Shift Key to open the database and if the Menu Bar SubMenu
"Window" is available, try the Command Window / Cascade and see if the
Database Containers window moves to a more visible location for you.
