I have developed several tools to make working with Access applications a little easier. I hope you find these freeware utilities useful. Including: Properties Setter My most popular utility by far. This tool lets you connect to an Access MDB, MDE or MDA and see the database settings, startup form and whether or not it has an AutoExec Macro. Think of it as a Startup wizard. You can change the settings using the Properties Setter without opening the target file. Did you set the database to disallow the Bypass Key? You can reset it. Need to change any of the other database settings? Just check the boxes you want changed. And click the Engage button.
