I read one article about how to secure database windows etc and just
to show the Form only. The step I did is : Click the Tool?Start Up
Menu and then
(a) Uncheck Display Database Windows
(b) Put the Display ForMain Menu
(c) Uncheck: -Allow Full Menus
-Allow Default Shortcuts Menu
-Allow Built In Toolbars
-Allow Toolbars/ Menu Changes
It work very well, as the result will just show the main Menu form
without show any database windows etc But when I want to re-set again to
normal condition by using SHIFT key while opening..It did not work , I can
not find any menu Tool?Startup Menu that will enable me to re-check those
Allow Full Menus, etc ..
Is anyone could help me with some solution?

Many Thanks!

If holding SHIFT down doesn't work then it would seem that the AllowBypasKey
property has been set to false. Search for Albert Kallal on the various
Access groups and find his website - he has a free utility for download that
will allow you to re-set the AllowBypasKey property.

If you didn't disable the shiftkey bypass, then you likely aren't holding
the shiftkey down long enough. Continue to hold it until the database
window appears.
