Hi All
i have a problem with my DB sitting on my personal computer. I get
"the database cannot be opened because the vba project contained in it
cannot be read"
I have seen this posted before. I need to recover this DB pretty quick
and i am more intersted in the VBA code than the data.
Help
Needless to say, a good backup is necessary. So here's my spiel on
corruption:
First, always work on a copy of the database. Working on the original may
make it impossible for a repair service to fix it.
Download a copy of JetComp.exe:

Try backing up your forms as text with the undocumented SaveAsText
LoadFromText functions:

Also have a look at the Microsoft KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;209137
Then have a look at Tony Toews' Access Corruption FAQ at:
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm
for some suggestions. Unfortunately, some corruption cannot be fixed - you
may need to create a new database, import what can be salvaged, and recreate
the rest.
Although it's a paid service, Peter Miller does an outstanding job of saving
corrupt databases. Try this URL:
