Decompiling Access

[Eka1618]

Hello,

I have posted htis in general querstions area, but I am still having some
issues with decompiling my file (and I desperatley need to do this).

command line does not read my path:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" /decompile
"c:\Documents and Settings\EMM\My Documents\TestDatabase_6_5_08.accdb"

I am pretty sure the quotes are wrong, but I try to do different variations
of this, but nothing is working...

I have unusual errors in my VB code at runtime throughout the entire
database. I've compiled and compacted/repaired my DB. If anyone can help me,
it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Erica,

the correct sintax should be

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "c:\Documents and
Settings\EMM\My Documents\TestDatabase_6_5_08.accdb" /decompile

For more info about decompiling take a look here

Hi Paolo,

I have been to that website before, and I just dont understand why it cannot
find the path... If I type in: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" /decompile , It will not even find that. I am
just confused... should i try to do this on another computer or something?

I finally figued out what it was....

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSACCESS.EXE" "c:\Documents and
Settings\EMM\TestDatabase_6_5_08.accdb" /decompile


the microsoft office folder was called "Office12".... I eventually found
this in explorer.

Thanks for the help!
