After I open my Access 2003 database and click on the Forms button there are
no options for creating forms. In fact everything is greyed out when I click
on the forms button. What have I done wrong. I am a novice at Access 2003
and am on page 288 of Access 2003 for Dummies...

My guess would be that you're using a .MDE file rather than a .MDB. A .MDE
file is a "compiled" version of a database, with all of the design tools
turned off; it's intended to be distributed to endusers once the database
design and implementation are complete.

If that's not the case post back... if it is, find the .mdb file from which
the .mde was made. If that isn't available you're pretty much out of luck.
