I want to abort the menu of an existing app and get to the main Access screen
so that I can begin to make modifications to the app.

Sometimes the developer makes this intentionally difficult. However,
try using F11, which might work if that feature wasn't disabled. Check
Access Help, under some topic like "How can I protect my database so
nobody can get a clue as to what I put in there?" That will offer
advice on how to get around those same protections. (FYI, I avoid doing
that sort of thing to my customers!)

If nothing seems to work, see if you can get an unprotected version of
the same database.

Hold down the shift key as you open the database.
