[AccessD] MDE to MDB

Vlad,

  Technically it is possible, but no one has bothered to take the time to
write such a utility because of the amount of time it would take to do so.
Lacking documentation on the p-code of VBA, it would take a considerable
amount of time to figure it all out.  It would be far less costly to simply
rewrite the app.

  Besides which, you'd never get the comments back anyway.  Those are
impossible as they are not saved in a MDE.

Guys,

Is there any method of converting an MDE to an MDB? I have a client who
employed a developer to create an application for their organisation.
The developer has now disappeared and the app has started to experience
problems accessing some forms - it just hangs. I obviously can't fix the
problem if I can't get to the forms to have a look at what might be
causing the issue. The app is a A2K MDE running under a AXP environment
- I was surprised that it would even run as I thought AXP would only run
an AXP MDE - learn something everyday. They have been running the app
just fine for months and this has just reared it ugly head.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have searched the
archives but no help there...

Thanks
Vlad
