{Resolved} Open an .MDB file in modify mode?

[dbelley_office]

Hi,

I have this .MDB file. When I open it, it shows a form in fullscreen (in using the application mode). But I would like to go to "creation mode" to modify the forms and tables.

How to I do that?

I'm not sure this is what you are talking about, but if you go to the menu at the top of the screen and click on View then select Design mode that should do it.

Maybe I don't understand what you want to do.

Good Luck

Whilst opening the MDB file simply hold the Shift key - it will stop any code running (unless the Shift key functionality has been disabled for that file).

Thanks for the ideas.

I have been able to cause an error to happen on the startup form. So I could go to the debugger, then the Key F11 showed me the Database Window.
