Unhide the hidden db window

[Guest]

I have a secure database say db1 which opens through a shortcut on my
desktop. In my startup options, I have 'Display Form' as a switchboard form
say Frm1 that I have created. Frm1 is maximised to occupy the entire screen
through code and its close button is disabled. I have also unchecked 'display
db window' so that db window is hidden. Now this is for users. When I open
db1 to make changes to queries etc., I cannot make the db window appear even
by pressing the F11 key even though 'Use Access Special Keys' is checked.
Also since I am going through a shortcut, I dont have the option of pressing
the shift key to bypass my startup options while opening it as I would have
had if I were doubleclicking on db1 to open it. How can I make the db window
appear when I want to

Press the <SHIFT> key and double-click on the shortcut. Continue holding
the <SHIFT> key down until the database is completely open.

Try code like:

DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True

to show the "Tables" tab of the Database Containers window.
