Erwin, "Greatness?" I take no credit in the solution...only in my archiving "skills". My ListServ folders are grouped by conversation topic. Dean's question contained the exact same subject line as the thread from August 2003. That is how I came across it so quickly, Dean's question bubbled to the top of the old thread and was seven messages above the solution provided by Stuart.

Mark **************** Thinking about this I thought of a cool (in my view) way of handling this, that is probably what Susan was talking about. Now I'm wondering why I didn't do this years ago. 1. Start Windows Explorer, 2. Select Tools and then Folder Options... 3. Click on the File Types Tab 4. Find the MDB file type 5. Click Advanced 6. Chances are there are 2 options. Open in bold font (denoting default) and New. You can pretty much add what you want here. For decompile, 7. Click New 8. Under action type Decompile 9. Under Application used to perform action type the equivalent for your install: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" /decompile "%1" 10 Click OK and exit out And wallah! You now right click an mdb and have the context option of decompiling it. But it doesn't stop there. For those of us juggling multiple versions of Access you can setup a right click option to open in each. Eg Open in 97 Open in 2000 Open in XP And make sure the path points to the correct version of access.
