STARTUP OPTIONS

V

Vic

I've created a switchboard which comes up automatically when the database is
started up.

This works fine but here's the situation.

I'm giving the database to someone to use and in the startup options I've
removed the the following: Display/Forms/Page Unchecked Display Database
Window and Status Bar. In the Menu Bar section unchecked Allow Full Menus
and Allow Default Shortcut Menus. In the Shortcut Menu Bar unchecked Allow
built in toolbar and allow toolbar menu changes.

This in essence kind of limits someone from really going to make changes
that they can't fixed if something goes wrong.

Here's the bigger problem though. How do I get those options back if I need
to do something with it. I've tried F11 which brings to the the tables and
forms etc. But I can't figure out how to get my menu toolbar options back.

Thx

Hold down shift while you open the file (and hope your users don't know
about doing that).
