Access bombs

M

MarianneZ

I am developing an application in Access 2007. I have created a report. When
I bring up this report in Design View and go to look at the Vba code, Access
bombs. This happens if I click on the tool in the upper right of the Report
Design toolbar and if I click on the [...] in the Property list. Now I'm a
newbie and my code may well be imperfect, but it shouldn't cause Access to
bomb. I didn't have this problem earlier today, but I did yesterday. I
managed to recover from yesterday's problem by jettisoning an intermediate
version of the form.

This is very discouraging.

Not really. What you are seeing is not normal. You may want to import
all your objects into a new database.

Just a thought. Is there a limit to how big - long- Vba code 'pieces' can be?

I would agree with importing the forms / tables etc into a new
database, however you can also run "decompile" on an access database
too,

When you do compiles in access it doesn't remove previous compilations
of the code, if there is a corruption in the previous compilations,
the form maybe referring back to it.

try a decompile, then start the application normally and try to get to
the VBA code again.

Cheers

Thanks to all. The decompile worked.
