[AccessD] decompile doesn't continue

To decompile the command line is...

"<PathToAccess>\MSAccess.exe" /decompile "<pathtoMdb>\yourfile.mdb"

Unlike compacting which is...  

"<PathToAccess>\MSAccess.exe" "<pathtoMdb>\yourfile.mdb" /compact

This is what's called using a consistent interface. In MS Land.

As for compiling, that's simple, from you batch file just call a macro that executes some code. Access will compile the application then run the code. Just have the code end with Application.Quit.

Subject: [AccessD] decompile doesn't continue

I am attempting to decompile in a batch file.  I need to decompile my framework, compact the framework, decompile the fe, compact the fe.

I put it all in a batch file and the decompile opens the framework and stops.  If I manually close Access then the batch file continues processing.

Does anyone know how to do this without the batch file stalling on the decompile?

rem Copy from server to local
xcopy W:\disnew\C2DbFWA2K.mda c:\Dev\Disnew /Y

rem decompile and compact
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msaccess.exe" c:\Dev\Disnew\C2DbFWA2K.mda /Decompile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msaccess.exe" c:\Dev\Disnew\C2DbFWA2K.mda /compact

rem copy to final
xcopy c:\Dev\Disnew\C2DbFWA2K.mda c:\DisFE /Y

rem copy to local
xcopy W:\disnew\Disco_FE.mdb c:\Dev\Disnew /Y

rem decompile and compact
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msaccess.exe" c:\Dev\Disnew\Disco_FE.mdb /Decompile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msaccess.exe" c:\Dev\Disnew\Disco_FE.mdb /compact
