Can't change admin. password because tools menu missing

I've taken over an access database and was provided the admin
password. My first task is to change the admin password, but my
problem is that the 'Tools' menu has been removed to access the
security area. In addition, the 'View' menu has been removed so I'm
not able to restore the Tools menu in that way. Any advice on how to
access the security area or otherwise restore the tools menu would be
appreciated,
Thanks,
Bryan

Right click in the menu bar and you should have available the item
Customize... which is what you would be looking for on the View menu.

From there you can re-install the Tools menu

Can't open my .mdb I was experimenting with opening an access database in IIS. For experimenting, I have an .mdb called HasbaraSample. In this case I copied it to the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Access folder. I had various problems trying to get it to open in IIS. I went to asp.net forums and was told to right_click the app_data folder and click the security tab. To make a long story short, that never worked out.

Hi: I have created a secured database for a client. For various reasons, I don't want the client to have full persmissions for the database; they aren't in the admins group. I have instead tried to create a second group, called "localAdmin," for the admin-type person at the client. I want this group to be able to do some basic admin-type stuff, including adding new users and clearing passwords if users forget theirs. I can't seem to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
