I recently took over maintenance on several databases.  I am running into a
problem with trying to modify some of the forms/tables/queries in a database.
I basically get an error message saying you must have modify design
permission.  Everywhere I look it tells me to logon as the Admin to modify
rights/permissions.  I don't even know how to do that.  Can anyone help?

Please contact your database administrator to assign you the necessary
privileges.

i don't know who the Database Administrator is, as far as I know it is the
lady who created these databases and she doesn't work here anymore.  Thanks
for the info, any other ideas?

Dear Keri!

You cannot change admin setup as a user, never, nowhere. This is why it is
called security.
The only thing you can do is to call that person and if it is allowed by
your employer, to urge her to let accessibility to the database which is the
property of the company.

I guess this is more a "employment-contract" question.
