How do I open msAccess (2003) WITHOUT the macros running?

Hi

How do we open up an MS Access ".mdb" file (from Office 2000 format I
think),
WITHOUT the macros running?!

Our MS Access guy is on holiday for 2 weeks.

Most of the office is on Office 2003 but for historical reason I
believe
that the data is still in Office 2000 format. Running on Office2000
(all
last ms patches for everything)

I tried holding down the CTRL key and double clicking on the .mdb file.
I also tried doing the same thing with the shift key. But nothing seems
to stop the macros from running. Whereas we need to get at the
underlying
data to produce some new reports...!

- Any suggestions?

With thanks

If holding down shift doesn't work then I'm guessing that the AllowBypassKey
property has been set to false. You need to set it to true and there are
various (free) utilities available for download that will do this. IIRC I
got mine from Albert Kallal's web site.
