How can I unhide the database window in a front end database when I hid it to
prevent others from accessing/changing the queries, forms, etc? I made
changes to reports on the backend db that did not feed to the front end db.
 
Word of warning this will not keep a experinced user from changing queries
form or other items. But it will keep the user from seeing the database
window.

If you are using Access 2003 select the Start UP option under the Options
list. Then deselect "Display Database Window" This will keep the Database
window from popping up.
 
There are just some days where I wished I read the question more fully before
answering...(or at least there was a edit command for comments.)

Cassandra you are sworn to secrecy if I tell you this but to view the
database window you need to hold the shift key in as you are opening the
database.
