Decompiling Shortcut

[Ron]

A while back a found helpful instructions for creating a
shortcut that would decompile MSAccess databases so that
one could deal with VBA corruption. I successfully made
one of these shortcuts, but during a reinstallation of
Access 2002 it was removed from my system! Strange but
true. I have tried to search through this newsgroup again
to find the instructions, but it seems that specifying a
date range in the search dailog doesn't really search over
a wider date range than a couple of months.

If someone remembers how to construct the shortcut what
will decompile an Access MDB file, I wuld be most
appreciative of the info.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Creat a shortcut to MS Access and then modify it's Target
property to add the path to your MDB file and the decompile
option. The Target property should end up looking like:

"path to Access.EXE" "path to your.MDB" /DECOMPILE
