I am new to a company, and the Prod version of an Access 2003 application (the .mdb version), does not allow me to view/modify/edit the forms in the application. Everything else - such as macros, tables, etc are updateable, but not the FORMS. How does one get around this?

Sounds to me that your database has previously been split into a front end / back end application.

You should have an mde file as well as an mdb file. Unfortunately the original file (before it was split) is also probably an mdb file and you can only edit the mdb file not the mde one.

You will need to search around to find the original (probably larger) mdb file.
