title: MS Access (2010) Enable Design View
body: <p>I downloaded the Access template below for doing a home inventory:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=home%20inventory&amp;ex=1&amp;queryid=0d245f2a%2Dacdc%2D4161%2D92c8%2D8ba16a52ab32&amp;AxInstalled=1&amp;c=0#ai:TC101918100|" rel="nofollow">http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=home%20inventory&amp;ex=1&amp;queryid=0d245f2a%2Dacdc%2D4161%2D92c8%2D8ba16a52ab32&amp;AxInstalled=1&amp;c=0#ai:TC101918100|</a></p>
  
  <p>The design view is not visible, which is a bit of a nuisance.</p>
  
  <p>Things I've tried:
  1) In options/options/current database/ the check boxes (enable layout view &amp; enable design changes for tables in Datasheet view) are both greyed out.
  2) I've unblocked the file using Right-Click->Properties.<br>
  3) I've tried copying/exporting the objects to another database.  But can only copy/export the tables.
  4) I've tried holding shift when opening the DB.
  5) Enabling all trust permissions etc.</p>
  
  <p>None of these work</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody have any suggestions. (I'm using Office 2010)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
