how can I open table in mdb access database without running form

[programmerKid]

Hi,
I am trying to open mdb file to view tables in it but when I open mdb
file it run form in it by itself, as a startup point. Can anyone please
tell me how to view and change in tables and forms, where I am unable
to open them.

Thanks in anticipation.

Kid.

If this is something you're doing once or twice, to work with, then you
should be able to do so holding the Shift key down while opening the
database (unless the developer has disabled it). Also, if it's not
disabled, hitting F11 while in the database, should bring the database
window.

Opening a new form on startup, is usually done through a setting in
the Tools menu - Startup, or through an AutoExcec macro.
