Hvordan åpne Access 2003 med alle objekter synlig?

f11 should open the dB window

but holding the shift down should, as far as I know, also work in 2003

I'll retry the SHIFT after a re-boot, then

Tried again, on a freshly booted 2000, and an XP - both with Access 2003. Noeitehr reacted to the SHIFT while opening.

F11 works, though. But does not give me access to unhiding the objects.

Got to figure out if this is a problem in this specific MDB file, or a more general problem with Access 2003, possibly connected with some other version of access files.

You can unhide hidden objects through the Tools-OPtion menu. In the View Tab there is a show hidden objects check box

The funny thing is, when I SHIFT open the file, there is not Tools Menu. Only FIle, Windows, Help (and Adobe).

Hitting F11 gives me access to tables, queries etc., but no Tools menu. Right-clicking seems to have the  same effect as left-click - not that I see any Database I could right-click.

Is there any sart-up code which might be removing (hiding) your menu's? Normally holding shift down by-passes any start-up code.

You can unhide any menu's by right clicking on the menu-bar and enabling them.

Must have been a quirk in this particular file, sometimes Office documents go bad.

(Works OK with a new file)

thanks, glad its working now :o)
