I read one article about how to secure database windows etc and just
to show the Form only. The step I did is : Click the Tool?Start Up
Menu and then
(a) Uncheck Display Database Windows
(b) Put the Display ForMain Menu
(c) Uncheck:   -Allow Full Menus
                    -Allow Default Shortcuts Menu
                    -Allow Built In Toolbars
                    -Allow Toolbars/ Menu Changes
It work very well, as the result will just show the main Menu form
without show any database windows etc But when I want to re-set again to
normal condition by using SHIFT key while opening..It did not work , I can
not find any menu Tool?Startup Menu that will enable me to re-check those
Allow Full Menus, etc ..  The DB is also password protected.
Is anyone could help me with some solution?

Many Thanks!

This was not only posted in error, but prior to the response.  I forgot to
mention that the DB was password protected.  And...as I am sure you are aware
you cannot delete previous posts...as I am also now aware.  Sooooo, if my
mistake has caused anyone hardship I profusely apologize!!!

In your other message you didn't mention that it was password protected.

You need to open the mdb, and at the password prompt, enter the password and
then hold the shiftkey down while you click on OK (and keep holding it
down).
