Neither of those worked. Does it matter if it is a .accdr database

It sure does! Change the extension to .accdb

The accdr is a fake runtime extension that blocks design changes.

    If the bypass key has not been disallowed you can open the database while holding down the shift key. Then press Alt+F11 to open the code window.

    If holding down the shift key does not work download my Properties Setter and use it to allow all the items listed. After you click the Engage button the database should be easy to get around in provided you hold down the shift key when you click the Open Target button.

    Again, once the database is open press Alt+F11 to open the code window.
