    I'm in trouble

    I have never used the security features in Access, such as show/hide database window and allow shortcut menu. I was messing around in there and have made my database so secure that I now can't figure out how to get back into it. I know I should have made a copy of it first, but didn't realize what I was doing at the time.

    I've also disabled Access special keys such as F11.

    Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Did you try to create a new empty .mdb and use the File/Get externaldata/Import..
    There navigate to the .mdb and import all the objects.

      Try holding the SHIFT Key down when you open the Database.
      (SHIFT By-Pass)
