Actually, not entirely True. Shamil, who I haven't seen on the list in a bit, was able to get the design elements of an MDE out for me. He was able to get the layout of the forms and reports. Maybe even the queries, but I don't remeber. The only thing that he wasnt able to get out was the code, but for me that didn't matter, since there was virtually none in the MDE. It was a paid service, that he was starting up, IIRC. No affiliation other than he saved my butt. :-) Bryan Carbonnell bryan_carbonnell at cbc.ca >>> jimdettman at earthlink.net 05-Jan-04 8:57:59 AM >>> 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.

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...
