PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi,

I'm in big trouble. The guy who works with me just quit and left me with the
Access database. I have no idea how he set it up and my boss want me to go
in and make some changes (I'm a VB programmer, but not Access). All I know
is there are 2 files: system.mdw and Calc.mde. Check on the short cut, looks
like this is Access 97. I have the account (supposed to be the master
account?) and can get in but all I can see is the user interface. How can I
get access to the macro and make some changes there?

Thanks

Hi Michelle,

The calc.mde is a compiled version of the database code
and the system.mdw is the workgroups file i.e. these are
not the files you need. Look for .mdb file as this should
contain the source code.

Also when you have a database that opens to a form right
away then you need to press and hold the shift key while
you open it to get to the usual access screens where all
the development stuff is.

Good luck!
