I have a database that I am trying to crack into. Someone created it here at work and then left. Now no one can get into it. If I hold shift when I open it, I see the tables, forms, etc.. behind the scenes but I still can't get past the fact that first a message pops up saying I am opening it read-only. I tried using the Open Exclusive option in the Open dialog box but still this message came up. I checked the Autoexec macro for code that says it is opening Read-Only and I see that it is opening the splash form read-only but when I try to change it - I can't because the save button is grayed out. Can someone give me some insight?
