How to open a Predesigned D/b for designing?

Hi,

I am developing a database for small tracking application. I don't know
Access too well, so I gave my specs for the forms and the tables to
another person.

My trouble is this: The person has made the d/b, but the when you click
on it, it opens a form, so there's no possibility of modifying the d/b
or the forms.

I need to add a few new fields to some forms and to the tables. The
designer is now out of town. So I need to modify the forms myself.

How do I get to the design view?

Thanks in advance,

Neil

Hold down the shift key when opening the database.

Don't tell them all Nick! <g>.

I rely on the fact that 99% of my users don't know about that. That's how I
implement my strongest security.
