Unless the table being changed is actually in use while you're trying to
make the change, you should be able to make changes to the back-end even
while the database is in use.

Why can't you open the database to modify its design?

Do you get an error? If so, what's the error? If you don't get an error,
what do you get instead of the database opening?

If your Access application is "split" (front-end on each PC, back-end on
your network), you won't be able to modify the back-end FROM the front-end.
You'll have to open the back-end itself to change it.

All bets are off if the files are .mde files rather than .mdb files.
