design window of the database, but i only see the database as any user

fix the problems. Thanks

Hi Chely

First, try opening the database by holding down the shift key while clicking
on the shortcut.

If that doesn't work, post back for some more ideas.

I tried what Graham told me to be behind the database and it worked,
but know i want to do it again and doesn't work. What could be the
problem? Somebody know another way to see the code in a database?
Thanks .

Hi Chely

Do you mean that it worked in one database, but not in another?

Or did it work in a database and now it has stopped working for that one?

There is a property that can be set on a database to disable the use of the
shift key, but you need to write some code to turn it on and off. If it's
the first option above then I'll post the code for you to unlock the other
database. If it's the second option then I don't really have an
explanation.
