ms access template where to find the vb code

Question

I'm very new to this ms access 2007. I have a copy of a charitable contribution template charitablecontributions.accdb. I would like to know where I can find the code of it?

I opened it by holding down the shift button and double click on it and it will open to a normal ms access where you can modify the table and so.

But when I just click the file: charitablecontributions.accdb it will open to a formular view where the ribbon bars are gone. I wanted to know how, how is it possible to have this formular view? Because I have a Test.mdb from 2003 and I also would like it to be open like the formular view of charitablecontributions.accdb.

I'll appreciate your help. Thanks

My prior answer was completely and totally wrong. I misread the question, and apologize. (This is the downside of hitting these sites before my morning caffeine!)

Not all Access databases will have code. However, you don't need code to get your databases to display this behavior.

1. Open the database you wish to create a startup form for in Microsoft Access.
2. Click the Microsoft Office button in the upper left of the Access window.
3. Click the "Current Database" option on the left side of the Options window that comes up.
4. Select the form you wish to use at startup from the "Display Form" box.
5. Scroll down, and uncheck the following boxes:
   • "Display Navigation Pane" This turns off the left-hand bar.
   • "Allow Full Menus"
   • "Allow Default Shortcut Menus"
   • "Allow Built-In Toolbars"

Of course, all this is predicated on having a form for startup. Also, once you do this, you will need to start up the database holding down the SHIFT key to make changes to it.
