Hold the Shift Key down while you are opening the database to bypass the

HELP------I have hidden my database window!!
Depending on the version of Access that you're using, I think you can open the DB to edit it's properties and have all the menus needed by holding the shift key while double clicking (or opening) your database. In other words, if you have created a shortcut icon to open the DB to the switchboard, just hold shift and double click the icon. This should open it in Access with the needed menu bars. Then simply go back to the startup options and check the boxes again. I hope this helps (and I hope it works... I haven't done it for a while!)
