I cant open database for editing queries

[Banken]

I have got an complete Access database with an "Autorun" from a company.
I need to change a report definition in this database.

Wher can I find such a utility that let me open the database in the Database-window, so that I can edit reports and queries in the database?

It is an Access 2000 database I think.

Why not just use Access?

Of course, they may have given you an mde file instead of an mdb, in which case you can't. I believe there are some tools for reverse engineering an mbd file, but I can't help on that point.

if you have access and it will not open in design view, try holding down the shift button whilst openingthe file. This functionality has probably been disabled by the developer but you never know.

The shift button was it !
