Default Access 97: Can't open MDB file without it automatically executing

I have an MDB file that wish to open in a design mode.
Everytime I right click and choose Open the program begins to execute.
I don't want the program to autostart I would like to look at the tables and
forms.

Thank You

Try holding down the Shift key while you're opening the file.
