Hi,
I have manager access to a database with all roles but I’m unable to view its design. In the designer client I get “You cannot view the design of this database because its design is hidden”. Can anyone tell me where this restriction is set and how I can work-around it?
Thanks

While there is a “flag” in the database file to indicate that the design is hidden (and the value CAN be cleared using a hex editor), the problem goes deeper than that. The hide design option is set when the database is created from a template, and when the option is used, the editable source code is NOT included in the resulting database – only the compiled code is included. You will, then, get access to the field names and so on, but attempting to modify the design code may result in irreparable damage.

That explains it… Thanks for you help Stan.
