Startup Problem - Help!!!

[Paul Richards]

I was experimenting with the Startup Display options and I inadvertently
unchecked the various menu items. Now, as the Startup option is greyed
out, I can’t get back into Startup to rectify my error, nor can I get
into Design mode.

Hopefully there is a way to reverse my error. Help please!!!

Have you tried starting the database while holding down the Shift key? If
that doesn't work possibly the site below will help.

Jerry: thanks for that. Fortunately I have a backup and if the Secure DB
doesn't work I have about 4 hours work to recreate the stuff I've lost.

Jerry: I tried the SECURE.DB. It asks for the name of a systems
database. What is that and where do I find it?

Jerry: the SHIFT key thing worked - thanks
