Hi all,

Not sure if this is the forum for this post but i would really appreciate
any help in this matter. When i was running my access project, a msgbox with
the message "Microsoft access has encountered a problem and needs to be
closed", I can choose to send an error report and a back-up is per default
made. However I still cant open the backup file or the old file. Acces just
continues to crash. Are there anyway to retreview the code in this file??
Havent taken a backup today, and I really dont want to redo this work. Would
be forever grateful if anyone has an idea to solve this problem.

Best Regards,

Ingman
 
I also tried to import the module I just developed from another project, the
problem here is that the module is password protected, and as I now
understand there is no way importing a module that is password protected, or
am I wrong?

First you must open the db with the protected code and remove the password
(in the VBE, go to Tools->Project Protection, click on the Protection tab
and un-check the 'Lock project for viewing' option). Save and close the db.
Then open your current project db and do the import. Then switch back to the
other db and re-instate the password protection (Access does seem to
remember your password, but I find it safer to re-type).

Hi,

The problem is that when i opened the corrupt db, access raises an exception
and closes immediatly, hence i cant change the password settings. However I
actually managed to solve this problem by doing the /decompile in the command
prompt. Really appreciat your input Stuart, thx :)
