Hi Mike,
The functionality still exists in Access 2003.
What you are probably seeing is the result of the new Security feature in
Microsoft Access.
- Download and install the latest version JET: How To: Obtain the Latest
Service Pack for the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database Engine
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=239114
- Try opening the Northwind database holding down the shift key. Note that
the Switchboard loads
- Select the menu option Tools > Macro > Security and change the security
level to LOW
(note: if you don't see Security under Macro then click View > ToolBars >
Customize. Highlight menubar and click Reset. Then see if Security is
under Macro)
- Close Microsoft Access and then reopen it. Try again to bypass the
Startup Form in Northwind
The databases you are trying to bypass most likely do not have a Digital
Signature (see: Microsoft Access help on Digital Signatures). Either you
keep your Security level set to Low (NOT RECOMMENDED) or sign the databases
with a Digital Signature.
I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

| I upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003. I have an
| Access database that I send to a customer twice a week. I
| have all the functionality locked out so he cannot get to
| the tables etc. It will automatically open to the main
| form. In Access 2000 I would hold down the "shift" key
| when opening the database in order to get access to the
| tables and macros. However in Access 2003 this
| functionality seems to be gone. I cannot get into my
| database now and unfortunately I have to import data daily
| into it and cannot anymore.
|
| Please let me know how to get back into the database.
