Hello,

I the spirit of intuitive learning I have managed to lock
myself out of my database.
What I did was, I went into Tools -> Start-up and then
unticked all the boxes in the startup screen even the one
in the Advanced section.

Now im screwed cause I can't change any of my forms,
tables, reports anything. If I right click on the mouse
nothing happens.

Has anyone ever done this and if so how do you get out of
it pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase help

Thanks

Cheers

Hold down Shift when you start the database.

F11 activates the database window unless you disabled special keys.

Hold down the Shift key while you're opening the database. This will
bypass all your startup code and get around the unticks. You can then
reset the startup settings to something more useful!

Note that it's possible to lock down a database so that the shift key
bypass doesn't work EITHER... that gets *really* fun to undo!
