I have an old db thats needs updaing, but every time I open it it runs and I
can not access any of the tables. Any suggestions?
 
No idea what that mean. Everytime you open it it runs? What does that
mean?

Several options, depending on how much effort the developer went to in
securing the database.

1. Press the F11 key after it's open.
2. If the developer blocked that, hold down the <Shift> key while the
database is opening (or when you have entered your username and
password if it's a secured database).
3. If that's blocked too, post back - there are ways to unblock it
using VBA code from another database.
