I'm stuck - need help badly

[Todd]

I did a bonehead thing. I went into startup and un-checked
all boxes, now I can't access anything anymore. I went to
HELP but it always mentions going to OPTIONS, however,
OPTIONS is no longer available in the menu. What do I do?

Hold down the 'shift' key while you open your database and then you can get
back into your startup options and reset them.

If you can get to a code window, open the Immediate window (View menu), and
enter:
dbEngine(0)(0).Properties("AllowBypassKey") = True
Then close the database, and hold down the Shift key while opening.

Other properties that you can set the same way:
AllowBuiltinToolbars
AllowFullMenus
AllowSpecialKeys
That should get you back to where you can use the database.

If that does not work for you, create a new database, and import everything:
File | Get External | Import.
