Help Opening a database

F

I installed Access 2003 some time ago to use a couple of existing databases.
I recently started to create a new database that I cannot open now. When I
open <file name>.mdp, all I get is a blank grey screen. I am using XP home
on my computer. How do I open the database?

Did you change the Start-up options of your database and inadvertently hide
the Database Containers window?

Try holding the Shift key down while you open the database to bypass the
Start-up options.

Hi

You could try opening it from Windows Explorer and if that doesn't work try
Start
Run
Then browse to your DB - it will look something like
C:\My Documents\DBName.mdb

If it opens with a blanc screen it "may" be that you have created a blank
form and set this "On Open"
Go To
Tools
StartUp
and change the Open FormPage; to None.

If none of these work post back
