poss a silly question, but basically i have a database where its properties mean when it is opened (enter / double click) the actual database, and options (file/edit/...etc) are hidden and only the 'start up' form is shown, from where people can navigate the database through forms etc. by pressing shift enter (at home) will allow me 'fully' access. however, at work where the database is used, the shift key is dissabled. is there a way i can put a button on the start up form which when pressed/clicked, i could get into the full database as like pressing shift enter?? a back door as such
cheers

Normally a double-click or such other event on a particular area of your main form is used as a trigger for getting in.
I don't have menus disabled in mine, but I use ... - Call DoCmd.SelectObject(Objecttype:=acForm, _
-
Objectname:="frmMainMenu", _
-
InDatabaseWindow:=True)
... to get access to the database window. frmMainMenu is the name of my startup form. You'd need to replace this with your own one.

I did a little more digging and found another line that could be even more helpful. - Call DoCmd.RunCommand(Command:=acCmdStartupProperties)
many thanks for your help, will give it a try. cheers

No problems. Let us know how you get on :)
interesting, using the last code, works fine at home (access 2007), but when save as a 2002 format, and opened at work doesnt.
I've put the code on so when you doible click a label, it opens the databases attributes/properties box, i can then set 'show database' etc, but it doesnt work at work?? any ideas
cheers

I'm afraid I don't know much about differences between versions. It works on my home system (under Access 2003). Have you looked in the help system when you're on your work system to see what it says about it?
hi works computers are so limited, that they even block that function. but cheers for all your help, i'll see if i can get around it.
thanks

In what way is it blocked?
Is it simply that a reference is not set?
its a big company i work for, they block access to lots of things. loads of 'red tape' to go through to get access to stuff. but cheers anyway

Dear All,
I add two new tables to the database and then the disable shift key codes
don't work. These two new tables are actually created by two queries, and
only these two are in the front end, I didn't manage to move them to the
back end. I work with Access 2k under Win XP.
these are the codes that don't work (it worked for more than a year very
well):

The simple web page below shows the issue. Click with the mouse while

However, use Shift+Alt+o, or either (while the...
