I have copied a database that I need to make changes to (Access 2002), when I open the form in design view the toolbar is not available for me to switch to form view. The are limited choices on the toolbar. I need to close design view and then open up the actual form. Is there another way to open this form and be able to switch back and forth from the form to design view?

Unable to switch from design view to form view

Hi SCOOBY37,
Sounds like the form has a Custom Menu. There are a couple of ways to try to get to Design View.
1. Hit the F11 key to display the Database Window, select the Forms tab, right click on the form that you want to edit, click on Design View.
2. While opening the DB keep the Shift key depressed.
The above won't work if you are using Access Runtime or your DB or Project is .mde or .ade
