Switchboard & password

Guest

In Access 2000 I created a switchboard and removed all the access to other menu items. Everything worked fine and I was able to get in using the shift key. Then I decided to add a password, thinking that I would still be able to use the shift key. WRONG! Is there anything I can do to either remove the password or use some other key strokes to access the full database and not just the switchboard & the F11 function? Thanks!!

If you didn't disable the shiftkey then it still works with a password.
When you open the database and see the password prompt, type in the
password, and then hold down the shifkey while you click on OK, until the db
window shows.
