Hi Charlotte,

Let's try something:

1) Create a shortcut to your Access app file.
2) Rename the shortcut to include the word 'Decompile' for your reference later on.
3) Open the properties of that shortcut.  At the end of the Target type in ' /decompile' (with a space and without the apostrophes).
4) Right-click the new shortcut to display the menu.  Hold down the Shift key and click on Open at the top of the menu.  Your app will open and will decompile, but will not run.
5) Open a code window.  First, push the Save button.  Then Compile the app using Debug | Compile.  Then push Save again.  
6) If you are having a code issue, you might see it when you compile the app.
7) You might notice a size reduction in the file when you do this.

I read about this procedure somewhere, and it has helped me occasionally.

HTH!
Dan
