Open a database without running the main form?????

[Chris K]

I created database few years back which automatically runs the main form - I
want to have a look at the tables but I forgot how to do this

Tried: Shift + Open, Ctrl + Open but it still runs the main form

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

I think it worked

If You can't open Your db with shift key, it is very probable that you
have disabled shift in order to not allow bypassing startup options.
Try to find somewhere (maybe in adminsitration panel) ability to
enable shift key - there should be e.g. button which runs proper
code.

If you've disabled the Shift+Open without providing yourself
a back door, then try using Ctrl+G to get to the VBA
Immediate window (or use menu/toolbar/right click popop menu
to switch your form to design view and then Ctrl+G).
If/when you get to the Immediate window, you should be able
to display the database window and then view the tables.
