I have an application using an old version of access that i developed
over 5 years ago, anyway I need to resurect it.
It has wrkgrp passwrod protection. It appears the app and the data are
split. Reason was that the data resided on a server and the app would
be executed by a user on their individual computer.
Here is the shortcut link for opening the data:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE"
"U:\my_docs\File_types\vb_pgms\srs\srsTESTdata.mdb " /wrkgrp
U:\my_docs\File_types\vb_pgms\srs\srs.mdw /user mike
I had to supply the passwrod. When I opened this I could see the tables
and the queries. so cool.
Here is the shortcut link for opening the app portion:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE"
"U:\my_docs\File_types\vb_pgms\srs\srsTEST.mdb " /wrkgrp
U:\my_docs\File_types\vb_pgms\srs\srs.mdw /user mike
I had to supply the password for this too. When I opened this i got a
splash screen, but then it just hangs there. Apparently a form is being
opened. I can see in the left top "File, Window, Help", but not
clickable. I'd like to "escape" or "cntl-break" to escape and get out
of the form. I am being logged in as the administrator. Something is
hanging .... some old code. I looked in my task manager to ck if it was
"not responding", but shows as "running".
So, my question: How do escape so I can get to the code and modify it?
There must be some keystrokes that excape form the splashscreen. When I
press F12 it asks if I want to save the splahscreen.
Any help appreciated.
