What is the keyboard shortcut that allows you to open an Access database (.accdb) with the Navigation pane open, when startup options are set to have it closed? I used to do this all the time, but can't remember or find the correct keys.
I'm not looking for F11, opening the pane after opening the database. It opens basically bypassing the startup option.
Need to hold SHIFT key in keyboard while access db getting opened.

whenever we open up a particular database, it opens to a table and then we have to open up the report we work from. For security reasons, we'd like the database to open to a particular report rather than the default table. Is there a way to change the database's behavior to open a record by default? Perhaps through a command line switch? In this particular case, we'd want to open a report named "01 Dashboard" by default upon opening the database.
Also note, we are on Windows 10, running Office 365.
Thank you.
Create an AutoExec macro that opens the report.
Or edit the existing one (or the VBA code it calls), if it really is a table that is automatically opened, and not a form in datasheet view.
I am using MS Access 2013 and when I click on the File tab, then click on "Options", the Options screen does not appear.
I want to place a password on this database, but I cannot until I open the database up in exclusive mode and to do this, I need to go into the Options.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Open Microsoft Access from the start menu. Then go to file. Under file, click open. Click on Computer. Navigate to and select the database you want to open and don't do anything. There should be a small arrow beside the Open button. Click on it and select the open exclusive option.
I'm writing some instructions on how to remove missing references that the later versions of Access do not tolerate when migrating from 97 to 2007 for instance.
Right now I can reveal the references window by opening a code window by clicking on a module, but this access sheet has no modules. I want to get the power-user to the references window without creating a module, and without having them poke through the different forms to find the code behind for an event handler.
Is there a shortcut key to get to this window, or to enable it? Or a safe way to click there?
Thanks!
If I press Ctrl+G, then the debug window appears, revealing the Tools menu option.
Thanks Mark for the comprehensive list of shortcut keys!
I have an Access Database where I am trying to restore the database links, but I do not see the database tools on the menu. How can I enable/show the tab again?
Hold down the shift key when opening up database. This will open the database in development mode, and show any hidden menus.
On the top tabs, click on External Data
The left section is Import&Link
The second icon is LinkedTableManager
I have an Access 2003 project that I am trying to open in Access 2007. The first action I take is a Macro with the action Minimize, followed by executing a module that opens my starting form. This is so the user only see the opening form and not any of the access tables. However when I open the project in Access 2007, the minimize does not work, the tables show. What am I doing wrong?
Two things to try:
Ensure macros are enabled in the trust center (under access options in the main menu) in Access 2007
Ensure your minimize macro is named AutoExec in Access 2003
