Decompress ADE to ADP

[Che Siung]

I lost my ADP file from my MS Access Project i'd created.
How can i decompress ADE into ADP?

Thanks.

First off, in the future, when your MDB or ADP is important, have at least 2
backups kept in different places. Second, you're hosed (sorry to be so blunt).

An ADE or MDE file is not simply compressed, it has had all the source code
stripped out. There is no source code in the ADE to recover. For all I know,
it may be possible to import objects from and ADE not including the code behind
them, so you could recover at least the UI designs - it's worth a try.
