Property Editor: Help
(FREEWARE)
The Property Editor utility allows you to edit
the startup properties for a Microsoft® Access® MDB file
without having to open the database directly. The
utility is primarily intended for Access developers who
prefer to distribute their Access mdb or mde
applications with the AllowBypassKey property
disabled.
Startup Properties
Startup properties affect how your database application
appears when it is opened. For example, startup
properties enable you to customize the application's
title bar, menus, toolbars, and startup form.
The Property Editor exposes 12 of the standard
properties available for Microsoft Access mdbs and in
addition, also exposes the Allow "SHIFT" To Bypass
Startup Options (AllowBypassKey) property, useful for
developers who wish to further secure their database
design. In some cases, with an MDB's startup properties,
you can alter options that could result in you being
locked out of your database design. If you are faced
with this situation, you can quickly edit the database
startup properties with the Property Editor
without having to import all the objects into a new
database file or write VBA code in an external database
to reset the properties.
(Access 2000 or later users should ensure that the mdb
file that they wish to edit is not set to compact on
close. Please read the FAQs for more help.)
Create An MDE
The Create MDE option also allows you to apply your
desired startup properties and create an MDE file with
those properties enforced.
