access thread: bypassing startup procedure


Message #1 by "Bryan O'Hare" <bohare@i...> on Wed, 16 Jan 2002 19:59:11
I have an Access 2000 database which the author set to ignore the 

usual 'holding the shift when opening' method of bypassing startup 

procedure.  Unfortunately, the original author can not contacted.  Is 

there another way of bypassing the startup procedure so that I can gain 

access to the database window?

Bryan,



You could try creating a new database and importing all the objects into

it. 



I saw quite a lot of mails recently in the forum about routines to

disable the shift key, I am quite interested in this idea but would like

one of the seasoned users explain exactly the routine they follow to

avoid getting locked out.



Regards



Paul

Paul,



Thank you but I did try that.  I should have mentioned that, sorry.  When 

importing I can get to the tables and queries, but the forms and modules 

are greyed out and do not import.  



Regards,



Bryan

Bryan,



Out of interest is it an mde or mdb file?



Apologies if that is another obvious question!



Regards



Paul

Paul,



It is an mdb file.  I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but it happens 

to one of about five mdb files.  Four of them are mostly forms and 

queries.  There is one mdb file that seems to hold most of the data for 

the other four.  The fifth, all data, file I can get into but it has only 

tables.  



Regards,



Bryan

Sorry I was just checking the obvious as you would be stuck if it was an

mde file.



In that case as they are all mdb files I am stuck for an answer, why it

happens to 1/5 files is very strange though.



Regards



Paul
