Can't see forms in design view

[Legacy 386498]

Hi all,

When I open Access 2010, I can see my tables, queries, forms, etc. in the objects bar to my left. I can't right-click the form I want to edit and see it in design view, when I right-click it, nothing happens.

Is there a reason in particular? I converted the Access from Access 97 and I'm not the admin of the original Access, is it a protection? If so, is there a way to bypass it?

Thanks in advance.

Try holding down the SHIFT key when opening the file.

When you converted it, did you make it into accde or mde file type? If so, you cannot select objects for editing.

I converted the .mdb to .accdb file type.
