Opening a database

D

Dee

I have a database that in order to see the contents of the database I need to
hold down the sift key to open it. Otherwise it will not let me view anything
except the switchboard form. I need to change this but I did not design this
database. Is there a way to remove this so that anyone can open the database
and view all its contents without holding down the shift key?

I am using Access 2003. Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

dee

Go to Tools | Startup and ensure that the Display Database Window box is
checked. You can also have it not display the switchboard (should you want)
by removing it as the Startup form.
