Hi<br />
&nbsp; In order to work on VBA access application, I open the mdb file by holding the shift key and double clicking the mdb file. &nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I find this process not very accurate. &nbsp;Half the time it opens the file sometimes it takes many many tires. &nbsp;Is there sure way to open mdb file in dev mode? &nbsp;This is very irritating.<br />
Please help<br />
Thanks.<br />
Al<br />
This is what I do.<br />
1) &nbsp;select the mdb file<br />
2) press shitf and together double click my mouse on the selected mdb file<br />
3) Should open the mdb file. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
Step 3 is where I run into problems.<br />
I have changed my mouse too, they keyboard could be bad? &nbsp; it's not very old.<br />
Any idea?<br />
Thanks.
