Where have all my tables,forms, reports gone?

[Guest]

I had just created a startup screen which I wanted my access database
application to open automatically in.

On the tools menu I selected the startup option and specified the file I
wanted to appear in the startup. I used a form for this but noticed that a
forward and backwards navigation box appeared on this form, which I didn't
want. As such I went back into the startup option and unselected all the
checkboxes (hoping that one of them might correspond to the navigation box).
However, now, upon starting I only get the startup form I specified, and when
I close it I can't see my other forms and tables anywhere? I want to undo my
actions but only File Window and Help are available in the menu bar above.
Arrggghhh!!!!

Any help on recovering my work would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

It's all still there, hon. It's just hidden. Press the shift key while
opening the database to bypass your new startup options. Once you're in,
Tools | Startup and recheck those boxes again. Your changes will take effect
next time you open the database.

I used a form for this but noticed that a
forward and backwards navigation box appeared on this form

Open the form in design view, then open properties. On the Format tab, set
Navigation Buttons to No.

Hold down the Shift key while opening the database and you'll be able to get
back in to change those settings.

To hide navigation buttons on the startup form, open it in design view and
look for Navigation Buttons on the Format tab in the Properties window. This
is a property of each individual form, not a database-wide setting.

Phew....

Just when I was about to eat my fist - You've saved the day freakazeud.

That's brought them back.

Many many thanks
