I am trying to troubleshoot an MS Access XP database and the first thing it does it close the main window and prompt for a date. Everything I enter comes with an error message stating that the value entered is not a valid date mm/dd/yyyy. It then proceeds to close access. I've tried every date format I can think of to no avail.
Is it possible to open an access database without it automatically prompting me for some input and closing? At this point I have no idea what is going underneath the hood of this thing since I can't even open it.

To bypass all startup options, complete the following step: Hold down the SHIFT key while opening your database.
Specify the default form in Access OptionsClick the File tab, and then under Help, click Options. Click Current Database. Under Application Options, in the Display Form list, select the form that you want to display when the database starts. Click OK, and then close and reopen the database to display the startup form.
Permissions on the File (.accdb or .mdb) Simply use the Windows permissions on the file to give them read+write or read-only permissions as desired.
Hold the Shift-key down when you choose open in the file menu in Access.
