Open dev area of an existing app-MDB?

[__Stephen]

I'm a .NET developer who was asked to help a friend with an access app at
his job. I have a copy of the .mdb. there is another file on their server,
but it failed to copy when they gave me their system.

When you open the mdb, the app starts. Just as it should ;> But how does
the access developer continue to work on it and make changes?

I was asked to make a new query and report.

TIA

Do you see the database window when the datbase open? It should have the name
of the database at the top and an Objects bar with things like Tables,
Queries, etc., listed. If not, try pressing the F11 key. If the database
window does not show, it's very likely that you can not make changes to it as
someone has it locked up. If you can see the database windown, there may even
be other hoops to jump through especially if the other file was also another
MDB or MDW or MDA file.
