I can't remember the super secret code to open a database in design mode after you've locked it up to keep users from changing things. It's something like holding down ctrl-shift-? while clicking on the db file (no passwords involved here).

Hold down the Shift key when you open the DB.

Hope this helps

Ah-ha...I thought it was more complicated than that. Now, we must crumple up this post and eat it to preserve the secret.
