I know this is a crazy question but I have a database that when I hold down
the shift key and open it, I can't see my tables, queries, etc. I've never
experienced this before. Any suggestions?

If the database designer didn't want you to see the database container, he
can hide it.

Are you saying that if you DON'T hold down the shift key, you can see the
objects?

Can you see the database window at all?

If so don't forget to move any horizontal or vertical scrollbars if their
are any within the database window.

If not, it's possible that the database window is off screen. Go up to
Window, Cascade or Window, Tile Vertically.

That was totally it. I feel foolish. Thanks so much.
