My client changed computers and I can no longer start Access 2003 in desing
mode by holding down the shift key. Just want to start access without the
app runing.
Thanks for your help.
 
It sounds as if the computer has a runtime version of Access 2003 on it. And
that runtime version is being used to launch the application.

Have you tried to find Access and just start up the Access application? If that
works, then try starting your database from within the Access application (while
holding down the shift key).
 
John,
I know that access is a full license copy. Somehow the app has become locked
to the acccess startup regardless of where you launch it from.
I think I will reinstall the Access module and that may work. Once I can
start access without the app running I will convert the app to an MBE and
eliminate this problem.
thanks.
