[AccessD] The Mysterious Case of the Missing Code

That has happened to me when using an Access 97 database opened with a new
version.
I did a back-up first, saved it as the newer version and found that I
couldn't get the objects back.
I had to use the "Open With..." feature with the back-up.

Hello All...and Good Morning (Niagara Falls, NY time anyhow)!
 
Well, it has been quite some time since I've requested any help from
y'all...my job has included many non-access things lately...but I think this
one might be a doozy...or, perhaps it is just me being brain-dead. I'll
accept the latter, if it means finding a quick solution.
 
I went out on-site to one of our departments this morning, because they
reported to me last week, that they couldn't see their data. I got into
their program from my desk...I'm on the same network...and I could see their
data fine...and I did it using their front-end program. So, I figured it was
something simple like "trusted location" or a mapping issue...or something
along those lines. 
 
When I got here, I did see that there was a trusted locations issue w/the
first PC...it was newly installed and I expected that. BUT...now I am into
the program and the data looks there, and the opening menu comes up, but no
buttons work. This is because all the code behind the buttons seems to be
gone. I looked at another menu...just the design view...and that code is
gone too. To get even freakier, I opened up a backup from 2009...and that
code is gone as well!
 
I used this same front-end from my PC on Friday...they share a front-end on
the network...yeah, I know...but this is how they have it setup...I do plan
on changing this for them, once it all is ironed out. This code was
obviously there for me...I ran it. So, how is it missing now? I'm about
ready to drive all the way back to my office to test this...I'm at a total
loss.
