I have an access file that is locked up or protected. I am only
able to click buttons and not able to get access to the tables
and queries. My question is this. Is there a way to disable
the protection or lock put on this access file?
There are no menus to select. Just File and exit.

Click to expand...

You would need to do two things - set the AllowBypassKey property to 'True'
and find out what the administrator's username and password are. You can
then use those credentials to log on whilst holding the SHIFT key down.
There are free utilities available on the web that will help you set the
AllowBypassKey property.
