Reinstate edits after removing them from access database

[Guest]

In order to prevent my Soldiers from inadvertently changing portions of my
database, I went under tools and start-up and removed all edit capabilities.
In my infinite wisdom, I did not check to ensure that I could go back and
reinstate these edit capabilities and make changes to my database. Time
differences in Afghanistan make it hard to get feedback on trying to solve
this situation. Any assistance someone can provide would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi Aaron,

Did you try holding down shift while opening the database?

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for what you do. Keep up your good work. It is
appreciated!

Try holding down the Shift key while bringing up your application.

If all else fails, start a new, empty application. It will eventually
become the application you now have. Setup the startup options as you
want them to be. Import all of the objects from the cranky
application. Rename the new application to the name you want.

One thing you can do to secure your forms, queries and code is to
convert your MDB to an MDE. Be sure you keep the MDB in your
possession so that you can make further changes. and, again, convert
to MDE to make it available to the troops to use.

What? helping to kill people because he's told to, oh yeah, that counts as
good work.

Wow! Terry, whatever is going wrong in your life I do hope it gets
better. Your only interest here was an off-topic snipe!

I was saying "Thank you" to a man whose life is on the line in the
service of his country, which is also my country. Serving in the
military service of one's country isn't a matter of indulging
atavistic, parabellum urges; You go where you're sent and you do what
you're told. Most of the time you'd really rather be somewhere else
doing something else. That's how I remember my active duty years (US
Navy, early 60s, Western Pacific, then through the Panama Canal viz
JFK & the Cuban Missile Crisis). Thanks be that there are sufficient
young people willing to answer the call to duty.

You started the off topic comments.

If you (at your time of life) haven't yet realised that killing for hire is
moraly reprehensible then I guess there's little hope for you.

I would hope that you could get over the prejudices and conditioning which
your own life has obviously imposed on you, but from the predictable
rhetoric below I somehow doubt it.

If you just wanted to communicate with me my address is easy to see.
Instead, you flame and rant here where you think you have an audience.

Until now you've enjoyed my good opinion due to your posts and service
here over the years. In a short span of time you've caused me to be
aware of other aspects of your character and what I've learned is
immensely disappointing. As I said in my first response to you, I
hope that whatever is wrong in your life is soon better. One of the
ways you'll know you're on the mend is when it is no longer necessary
for you to try to impose your views on the world at large.

I've learned my ethics and rules for life from the ground up. I've
had lots of formal education but only truly believe those things I've
tested and found to be true. I'm wise to the extent that I live in
accordance with what I know to be true. Age has nothing to do with
it. Advice from one such as you have proven to be, could have no
value. You simply regurgitate the Liberal rant. It's so trite it's
like a bird call: it conveys no meaning but serves to identify the
species.

I'm absolutely opposed to the state murdering anyone as "punishment".
However, armies don't go into the field for recreation. Kill or be
killed is the practical outcome. Legend has it that it all began in
the Garden of Eden.

Whatever. Wisdom and reason seem to be out of your reach just now.
Rant and rave all you wish. As of now you're in my Outlook Kill File.

To the newsgroup at large, my apologies but this rebuttal had to
appear here for the benefit of all others. shrill screamers don't own
these newsgroups.

I don't particularly want to communicate with you, but when you post in a
public forum supporting organisations whose purpose is killing people
because they've been told to, I think a rebuttal is called for.

I think it a shame that you find my opposition to killing people "immensely
disappointing", but from your previous posts in this thread not really
surprising. It is after all, as the rest of your post makes clear, easier
for you to try to belittle the messenger rather than listen to the message.

BTW regarding the rest of your fairly predictable post, wars have almost
always been fought for economic reasons, for the acquisition of land or
resources, not for some ethical or moral imperative. Who is it who gains
the most from wars(?), surprise surprise, the politicians and their economic
class who order the poor schmucks in the armed forces to do the killing.
