Can't find where forms are stored

[Pele]

I just inherited an application at a new job and I noticed that the designer
had created the application such that when you click on an icon, it runs a
file called Liberty.exe and that brings up a switchboard form from which a
lot of
stuff can be done. I have also noticed that the application uses tables and
queries stored in another database called storage.mdb.

The problem is, the Liberty.exe seems to launch a form, but I don't know
which database the form is stored; since the storage.mdb database only
contains tables and queries i.e. there are no forms or macros.

The question is, where is the Switchboard form being launched by the
Liberty.exe file stored. What kind of database design methodology is being
used here. The Switchboard form is seperate from the tables but I don't know
where it is.

What makes you think your application was written in Access? It might be
written in VB or a number of other applications.

I'd assuemd that since all the tables it was using for the switchboard were
all from access databases.

My question is, even if it was written in VB (most likely), what can I do to
see the design view for the Switchboard form. Thanks.

If it was written in another language such as VB, you need to get the
original VB source. You can't extract things out of the VB executable.
