I have an MS access file .mdb obtained from another branch. When I open it
with access2003, it came up with a form and a few buttons. I need to modify
the form and its logic. How can I do that?
I try to look for an option that allows me to look at the code, but I got no
clue.
Can somebody show me how to modify this form?
thanks
 
Highlight the form and then click the "design" button in the top of the
database window. Or, right-click the form name and select "design-view"
from the context menu.
 
if the applicaton is a mde, then you can't modify the forms.

However, it is possbile that the user set the startup options to hide
ms-acces stuff.

Try holding down the shift key during startup..and see if that gets you
in.....
 
Rick and Albert,
thanks for helping.

I held down the shift key and it got me into it.

I tried to view the visual basic code and it gave me the "Estimating
password" prompt.

Is this file protected?

thanks

Hum, what version of ms-access are you using. I seem to recall that you can
put a password on a the "code", and this is NOT part of ms-access security,
nor is it a secured database (in those cases, you would *likely* not be able
to open the database without a prompt).

Just email the sender for the password used. If using a97, you can get a
password recovery for free here:
