Restore hidden forms on split database

Hi!

I've split my database and using the Tools/Startup option, I've hidden
everything except the Main Form on the front end. Now I realize that I need
access to some of the other forms and I can't get to them -- is there a way
to reverse what I've done? What I ultimately want is to have all of the
queries and forms available to me on the backend and only the Main Form
available on the front end. Is this possible?

Thanks!
 
hi,
close your data base. hold down the shift key while
reopening the db. this will by pass all of your start up
options. your forms will show in the db window. and yes it
is possible but the back end should only contain tables
that the front ends link to. The front ends are all on
locals and can be set up differently.
hope this helps.

Tools - Options - Show Hidden Objects

Be aware that some of your users probabaly know how to do this as well.
 
Ah! That worked! I'll have to set up the front ends differently as you
suggested. Thanks very much!
 
Actually, the Tools option wasn't available since I had removed the Full Menu
option. The shift key worked though. I seem to remember reading something
about disabling it for other users so I'll have to check into that. Thanks!
