Password Reset

[Guest]

Hi There,
I have an access 2000 that was developed by another developer that is no
longer with the company. The database open with switchboard as the starting
page, no database options and if any option selected from the switchboard a
password dialog box will show up. No body seems to know the password. I had
tried holding down the shift key so I could get the database option but that
doesn’t work? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi.

if any option selected from the switchboard a
password dialog box will show up.

The former employee customized the switchboard form with VBA code. If it's
an MDB database file, read the procedure to see where the password is
stored. It may be hard coded in the procedure or module, or stored in a
table, property, file, or Windows Registry key. If it's an MDE database
file, contact the former employee and get the password from him.

HTH.
