Dear Richard,

At 1.46, you demonstrate how to set a start up form and also lock the database at 12.00. I did this and it was working perfect on over 10 different computers. However, yesterday, i was shocked to near death! I opened a database on a friend's computer and everything was disabled! The database would open with no LogInF and all the navigation pane objects were visible! I went to Access Options>>Current database and i reaslised the Display form property was reset to blank. I set it back to LogInF and reopened the database. Again it do not appear. I disabled the bypass key as sshown in 12.00 and reopened the databse again but alas. THis is the first time i have seen this and i find it very strange. Why is this so? Anything i can do to go around this?

Thank you for clarifying

MICAH
