I open the MDB, the form runs automatically - how do I stop it?

Simple question
I have an MDB file with 20 files and 7 forms in it.
When I open it up, the form runs immediately an access goes into some
sort of protected mode. I can't view the tables, queries etc. I can
see the code by pressing Alt F11 but not the data.

I created a blank db and imported the mdb so I could see the tables.

But how do I open the original without it running the code?
When I look at the code. I don't see anything that sets properties or
invokes the code automatically.
There are no macros in this, just the forms and associated code with
them.

Any ideas

Thanks

Hold down the shift key while you're opening the database.

Once you get into the application, look at Tools | Startup on the menu to
see where the form was set to open on startup. (It's possible that they
marked the tables as hidden. If that's the case, look on the General tab
under Tools | Options, and check Hidden Objects in the Show section.)
