    Design View Locked


    The forms, reports etc in an Access 2003 database are locked. When I right click to open the form in Design View nothing happens.
    Is there an option I can check or uncheck, so I will be able to open the form in design view?
    Has it something to do with User Permission? How Can I change them?
