Enable Access Access Developer View?

MS Access is not my main area of ​​expertise. Therefore, my question is probably not specific enough. Nonetheless.

We have a custom MS Access application that we would like to modify a bit, for example, add 2012 to a certain control.

Like the MS Access application, it hides the view of the database developer . Recently - while the application sent an error message during shutdown - the developer view has opened. Unfortunately, the error dialog box below, which by clicking the "Stop" button on MS Access.

I assume that there is a standard way to raise the developer of such a database. Can anyone pick up tips?

Please do not provide links to hacking software. I'm only interested in the standard / legal way.

While you are working with mdb / accdb and not mde / accde, it is possible that pressing the shift key when opening the database will disable the menu. Keep the shift key pressed until the database is fully open. In some cases, overriding the switch key is disabled, but there are ways around this.

Once the database is open, press alt + F11 to open the code window.

If the switch key bypass is disabled, life becomes a little more difficult, starting with reading MS Access startup properties
