    Help Stopping AutoExec Macro

    Hi guys,

    I have a database with an autoexec macro, the last action of which is to close the database. In the past I've been able to hit ctrl-break to stop a macro, but it just causes this macro to skip to the next action which eventually closes the database. So, now I have no way to edit the queries or macro...

    I'm sure the answer here is obvious, but can anyone help?

    thanks,



    Andrew

    When you open the database hold down the shift key this prevents the macro from running.
