Hi,

I am desparate not to have lost several days worth of development. My adp
database file wont open. I get a Microsoft message, wanting to send an error
report. It suggests repair open database and restart ms access. Which I let
it do, and then it comes up with the same message again.

Is there any way of getting access to the VB code at the very least, so I
can copy it into an old version and continue?

HELP!!!!

Thanks
Janette

Hi Tony,

Do the steps outlined at this site also apply to *.adp files or only to
*.mdb files. As I haven't lost any tables or data, I have only lost the vba
code that sits behind the reports and forms. The tables are hosted on a SQL
Server database.

Thanks

The steps, for the most part, should work with .adp files. Besides
if you make a copy of the file, which should be your very first step,
you can't get into any more trouble than you currently are in.
