Jason,
Once the database is open you can see the (obviously
hidden) database window by pressing F11 (or menu Window >
Unhide).
If you don't have a full menu, then open the database
holding down the Shift key while it opens. This will
result in the database opening with full menus and the
database window visible, while the initial form will not
open, nor will any startup macro / code run.
To restore the menu / main window access on database open,
ckeck the options in manu Tools > Startup.
If your database file is an .mdb, all is fine. If, on the
other hand, it is an .mde, you will be able to see /
modify tables and queries, but not the forms / reports
design or any code.
HTH,
Nikos

I inherited a database from an former associate and they
had the database so that when you open it, a form is
displayed and you choose the parameters. That's all fine,
but I need to change one of the criteria that is from the
query that is bound to the form. How do open the database
so that I can see the tables/queries and design of the
form?
