What version of Access is it? If it's Access97 then I can probably get into it for you. Have you tried creating a new database and attempt to import from the :locked" one? -- Bradley Software Developer www.hrsystems.com.au A Christian Response www.pastornet.net.au/reponse "eddiec" <chalk (AT) NO_SPAM_PLEASE_netspace (DOT) net.au> wrote in message news:bf0o9i$8hf$1 (AT) otis (DOT) netspace.net.au... hi'y all, my company has an access database (.mdb) that has been left behind by a previous programmer. Now, this programmer has locked this database down hard, when you open the database all you get is a switchboard (menu) with options to view various reports and enter data. "Insert" and "Tools" are missing from the toolbar, in short, there are no buttons or commands that will open the actual database. The database opens the same way if you hold down the shift key while opening the database. If you create a new database and go to File, Get External Data, Link Tables and try to access the locked database that way the only object that is available for import from the locked database is the switchboard form. When you import this as a table it merely shows the names of the forms that the buttons on the switchboard link to. The programmer has left the company and is not contactable. Help! Is there any way to unlock this database and access the tables and forms??? Any assistance would be much appreciated. eddiec :-) |
