ldb extension in access

[Chench53]

I have a program that is access based. The data is in the file with the mdb
extension, but I don't have the password. It's FTWO, a motorcycle maintenance
program I am using. When I make a report, it prints out in the order items
were entered, not in chronologic order. I want to go in access table to sort
and save so it always is in chron order, but I think this ldb extension on
another part of it prevents that, or either the company put a password on it
and I cannot go into my own tables.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks for the help,

You need to set the required ordering / sorting in the design of the Report,
not in the Table.

Thanks, I couldn't think of the right way to say it, but yes, you're right,
that's actually what is needed to be done. The problem is I can't get into it
because the company who made the program has a password on it (the mdb file),
which I don't know. I thought somehow that might be assosciated with that ldb
file. I never heard of an ldb extension before, am not familiar with it.

Is there any connection with the ldb file and need for password to get into
the mdb file?

My feeling is that the original developer set the Startup options.

Have to tried to open the MDB file with the Shift key depressed to bypass
the Startup options? (this may or may not work depends on how the original
developer set it up.)
