enabling design view

F

design view has been greyed out in an mdb file, so I can't
get into design view. How did that happen, and how can I
re-activate design view, so I can edit the forms? Help is
no help, and the books I have on Access 2000 don't seem to
have anything on this.

Regards,
Fafner

Is it possible that you are actually looking at an mde file, not an mdb?
MDEs are a compiled form, which cannot be edited further.
