Hi,
I have inherited an old Access database at my new job. It has been a while but I had some training on Access years ago.
I need to enter data into this database but I seem to only be able to see the form view. I have tried to change it but a lot of the options are grey.
I would rather enter data faster because now it takes ages to enter my data (due to how it was designed I think).
I have searched for information and I read Excel isn't a good alternative for a database.
Any ideas on how I could speed this process up or convert this into something more up to date (and faster)?

OK. It sounds like you have the full version as you are able to view forms in design view.
Are you able to view objects in the navigation pane?
Why do you think your database is locked?
Are you able to do some screenshots and/or upload a cut down copy of your database for someone to look at
