How do I stop a form page with command buttons from opening when accessing a
database? I want to start at the TABLES tab
 
You can stop a form from opening by checking for autoexec macros or looking
at the "startup" options.

As far as starting at the "tables" tab, I don't think you can specify that.
Generally, you would not want to start there anyway. Tables are buckets for
storing the data. Once created, you should rarely need to open a table
again. Typically, you'd use forms, reports, and queries as your user
interfaces in a database.
 
As long as you have access to all of the menus...
Close the initial form and then Click on the Tools menu, then StartUp.
Change the Display Form/Page to (none).
Close the database.
When you re-open it will open to the database window.

Last Resort solution: Create a new blank database, and from the tables tab,
Click Import, Browse to the old database and select all of the tables, forms,
queries, etc.

Hope this helps.

Access?
Which version?

Access 2003 - Tools/Start Up - enter (none) in the Display Forms/Page field
for starters.
