Can't access FORMS in design mode.

Hi,

Access 2010 - accdb

This is not a split database.
I have been sent a database (which I originally designed).

I have a problem with the forms.
When I right click on them the option for "Design View" is greyed out.

I may be forgetting some very basic thing but I cannot figure it out.

Possibly .....

BUt when I am in explorer and right click on the database and then click properties.  The "Type of File" is Microsoft Access Database (.accdb)

Perhaps this is a mis-leading bit of info?

How else could I determine if it is an accde.

(By the way I CAN access tables in design mode).

Thanks folks,
The VBA is also unviewable.

I will sort something out!
Pretty sneaky on somebody's part.  
Warnings should be going off on what else this person did.

Thanks for the split.  Good luck with your project.  -Jim
