Help! I'm locked out of Startup menu

[Guest]

I used the startup menu option to set some parameters for my database on
startup. One of the options I set was to not use full menus or toolbars.
The problem is that now I need to change something but I don't have the Tools
(where the Startup option is) menu item anymore and I can't get to Options or
Startup or Customize or any of that important stuff anymore. So how can I
change it back since I can't see the menu?

Also, once I do get it back, I would like to have some of these menu items
available to me (admin user) but not to all of the other users. Is there a
way to restrict menu items by user?

Try holding down the 'Shift' key as you open the db.

You'd need to create your own custom menus for your users and call them
from code on startup depending on which user logs on.

A bit vague, I know, but it should point you in the right direction.

Thanks, that did the trick.
