title: How to open locked app in design mode?
body: <p>Our MS Access 2000 developer left the company a year ago. We need to open his app in design mode in order to make modifications. Double-clicking the .mdb file while holding the shift key doesn't work. When I do that the developer toolbar shows for a split second, then all toolbars go away and the app opens as users would see it. No toolbars show and only a basic dashboard is visible to run the app. I tried using the password recovery tool mentioned <a href="http://mediakey.dk/~cc/recover-crack-a-password-from-a-microsoft-access-database-mdb/" rel="nofollow">here</a> but the tool says there is no password. Can someone tell me how I can open this app to make code modifications?</p>
