It should be possible to do this with VBA code. Try holding down the shift
key when you open the database, this will stop any autoexec macro from
firing and let you see if there's any VBA code in the modules.

Also, have you tried opening the database on a different PC and/or using a
different login that hasn't opened the db before?

Could you send me the database off-list? I'm intrigued now!
