How do I open a program made by accessing in development mode?

If the application was compiled in mde (or accDE) then design mode will not be available for forms / reports and VBA code.
Assuming you have mdb or accDB (not mde or accDE where design changes are NOT possible) then you should and can change the application.
The first suggestion to hold down the shift key while launching the application usually works. However, the shift key can be disabled. In this case, just create a new empty database and then import all objects from the original - this will allow you to launch / open the application without running the startup code.
