No longer have access to edit tables/queries/forms/etc. for a DB??

For some reason, when I open the database in question, it loads one of the
forms, and it won't give me access to edit the tables/queries/forms/etc...
When I close the form that was automatically loaded... all I see is a blank
Access panel. It does not show the design panel that lists the tables,
queries, etc.

I have no idea what is going on... can anyone help?

Try holding the Shift key down while you are opening the database. This
will usually bypass the StartUp options (including the StartUp Form) and
show you the Database Containers window.

Or rather than opening the database with shift, since you already have it
open hit F11 to show the database window. The reason you can't see it is
because the database window is set up to be hidden upon startup. (this can be
changed by the admin in the startup section.) To unhide it you can click
Window\Unhide\Database name. If that option has been removed from the
customized menu, then try F11. That will get you back to the tables &
queries.
