Post by siamandm »

Hello all,
if I have a database, and I want to open it in design mode, holding shift key is not working, is there any way to open it in design mode?.

Regards

Even if you could, you wouldn't be able to do much with it. Forms and reports cannot be edited in a .accde database.

Each .accde database has been created from a .accdb database. If you want to modify it, you have to modify the .accdb database, then generate a new .accde database.
Best wishes,
Hans
