    Resolved [RESOLVED] How to recover your Access 2000 application if the start form doesn't exist?

    I made a form with my components on it. It was set to open as a starting form when you open the access file(mdb). However I didn't like the name of the form and changed it. I closed the application and tried to reopen it. Now when i open my Access 2000 application I get two error messages and then the window with the "Halt" button appears.

    How can I recover my application in this case?

    I have a backup of my mdb file, but it doesn't contain the changes I added today.

    Any clues?

    Isn't there a Keyboard-Shortcut to deactivate Macros during Startup? Something like
    "Hold your SHIFT-Key during Startup until something appears on your screen"

    Yes Shift + Enter jumps the startup macros.

    As zvoni said. hold shift until you get to the main access. Change the options of the db to your new form name.
