Can't Edit DB / Tools / Startup Problem

[christywarner]

Hi,

I'm in serious trouble. I was experimenting
with the TOOLS/STARTUP settings and
un-clicked the options like "database window"
and "toolbars". Now, I can't edit my
database at all! I tried to un-.mde my
other version but can't figure out how to
do this. And I don't have a more recent
backup. Thanks in advance for any help!

Christy.

Unless you disabled the "allow bypass keys", hold down the shift key and click the icon (hold the shift key during the entire load).

OR -
You can also hit the F11 key which will bring the database window to the front.

OR -
You can create a new empty database and import all your tables, forms, queries etc from the one you need to work on.

And finally -
If you have have disabled the "allow bypass keys" see thread702-562085 danvlas posted a solution to that should work.

If you have turned off the default menus (or implemented a custom menu without this option) and can't get to the startup screen to change the settings back, press Ctrl G to open the debug window and type:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdStartupProperties <RETURN>

which you can then use to reset the settings.
