I have an access file that a program wrote for our agency years ago,
instead of starting from scratch I'd like to see if I can just change some
of the reports in this access database. The problem is that every time I
open the access file it loads immediately to a custom page and does not
allow me to edit anything or look at the tables and forms. What do I have to
do to be able to edit it?
 
There are 2 things that you can do. Hit the F11 key and you should see the
database container window. OR hold down the shift key when starting your app
and it will bypass the startup options. If you haven't disabled these
features, either should work fine for you.
