"unlocking" My DB

Mar 27, 2006

Hi,

I created an access DB and "locked" the working version (i.e. selected the settings where users could not see the full menu bar). I had another version that I was working on to improve/upgrade the DB, but that one got corrupted and I only have the working version left. Now, I don't want to have to re-create the DB from scratch and would like to know if there is a way to get the full menu bar to show up, so that I can access the admin options on the DB?

Thank you!!!

Unlocking A File?

Feb 1, 2006

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way to remove the security that a third party designer has added to a file. Is there an easy way to do this at all? Or is it really necessary to contact the original designer?

Thanks everyone!

Unlocking Database

Jun 12, 2006

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

I am completely new to access and have just started a new job which involves the building of databases using access 97. The person who I replaced has very helpfully locked all the databases.

What I would like to know is there any way to unlock them again? I can view the page as a user but I need to get into the tables etc so I can modify the design slightly.
Is this possible or am I going to have to build a brand new database?
Bearing in mind I know next to nothing so if I cant get in then I will be here asking all sorts of questions:D

Thanks

Help Unlocking Detail View Please

Oct 11, 2006

I haven't used Access in a couple of years. I created a DB some years ago where I did not want the users to be able to view/change the forms, queries, etc.

I only wanted them to be able to view the "finished" product and do the data input.

I remember there was an "alt+key" combination I hit when I opened the db file in order to view/change queries, forms, etc.

Now, I've forgotten the key combination at open which allows me to see the details of the db.

I have some formulaes in that old db that I now need.

Could someone please advise on the key combination at open which will allow me to view/modify the details of the db?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Joel

General :: Unlocking Access Application Form View

Jul 7, 2012

I do not know Microsoft Access that well when it comes to development.

A colleague and myself have inherited a project that requires us to research an application developed in Access.

We both have worked at SQL Server Administrators. All we have been provided is an .mdb.

The .mdb opens right up into the form view if you will.

When working with Access many years ago I know there are other views to Access when it comes to design, tables and relationships.

Does the .mdb need to be unlocked or opened in another way?
