Why do you need to do decompile (just curious).

Can you copy the FE to your machine, decompile, and replace?

Subject: [AccessD] Office on a server - where did it go?

One client has a server running Windows 2003 and SQL Server as a BE to
various Access FEs.  I was brought back in to this client because the
company that did the conversion from Access BE to SQL Server was not doing
what they said they would do.  Anyway...

I use VPN and remote desktop to remote in to the server.  It is my dev
machine simply because they do not have another machine to set me up on.

My problem is that they installed Office on this thing (I guess), or at
least I can use office on this thing but I cannot FIND the actual office
install.  In order to get a /decompile going I need to use a shortcut to the
actual Access EXE and then use the /Decompile switch.  Or at least that is
how I know to do it.

Since I cannot find the exe on the machine I am unable to do this.  Needless
to say, Decompile is rather important.

I think what is going on is that the office was made part of a domain that
exists at another office. 
  As such I am guessing that my user is "virtual" or whatever you call it,
and thus it can use office even though it is actually installed somewhere
else, probably in that other office.

Has anyone ever run into this?
