I have a database that I am assisting with and I can't get to the database
window. I have full admin access, but can't seem to get to the database
window.

Is there a trick to get to this?

If pressing F11 doesn't do it, the designer may have uncheck the
property "Use Access Special Keys" in the Startup options. If that's
the case, try holding down the Shift key while opening the database. If
*that* doesn't work, the designer may have also set the "AllowBypassKey"
option to False. In that case, I think you'll have to use code (run in
VB or in another database) to reset it. The code would look like this:

Set db = OpenDatabase("C:\Path to\LockedDatabase.mdb")
db.Properties("AllowBypassKey") = True
db.Close

Hold down the shift key when you open the file.
