(In many cases, forms are the things used to enter data into the .odb.) If this is true, then it may make sense to open the .odb file with Forms selected. The F4 key opens the Data Source window. Open this, click the arrow before the name of the database, click the arrow before "Tables", and then click the table you want. Its data appears in the right side of this window. You can add, modify, or remove any data from the table from here. You could also access any query outputs this way. I have a table that contains my Bible reading "assignments" in a table by date. I also have a query that will tell me what today's assignment should be. I use F4 to open this window, click the arrow in front of the database, click the arrow before Queries, and click the query.
