Default Missing Default Access Menu

I designed a database with a switchboard, and the database and switchboard,
etc work fine.

In Startup, on the tools menu, I selected not to display menus and toolbars,
as I didn't want it to be accessible to users.

Now I have a reason to use it, but cannot restore the menu to allow me
access to startup.

I can open another database, or start a new one, and make the selections,
but the database I'm working on does not change. I'm assuming these settings
are specific to each database.

Is there a way to restore the original menus and toolbars when the tools and
view menus are not visible?

Thank you.

Hold down the Shift key while opening the database. Keep the Shift key held
down until the database is fully opened. For example if any of the irritating
security popups show, keep the key pressed down while clicking on the popups.

Thanks Jerry!

It worked - and a little note in my access help files.

Thanks again.
