    Unhappy Demo Database


    I have a accdr format database which I installed to use for keeping track of information for my work and it was created by someone that went out of business a few years ago. I cannot contact them in any way and I am stuck with a demo version which doesnt open anymore unless I give it a product keycode. I have alot of info saved in it. Can anyone please help?

    I've never used accdr but as I understand them, they are a runtime version, intended for use where Access app is not installed. Try just renaming the file and changing the file extension from accdr to accdb. Then hold down the shift key while opening the db which will bypass project options and code execution. Find code that deals with product key and modify.
