Toggling Design Mode On/Off

[Peter Murray]

I have an old db. I would like to see the forms and tables so I can select them and make changes. I know there is a way to access those items on startup but I have forgotten how. When I bring up the db I see a form and I can get into VB for that form but I cannot see any embedded table, forms reports, etc. I am reading the book but I have not yet found the clue. (again).

f11 lets you see forms/reports/etc in navigation pane.
Holding shift while opening stops startup code from running.

Unless function key shortcuts are disabled by db option settings, use F11.

Also, as James said, holding shift key when opening db can bypass most db option settings and AutoExec macro.

Spot on. You all saved me a lot reading.
