Mark, I stick to what I just said, but for a different reason. YOU ARE SO GREAT!!! By the way, if more than one access it is a bit more complicated, I just experianced. The last Access version runned connects the MDB to that version. Then you loose the Decompile shells until that version is back the default. So you have to do this n time n version of access. Since I have A2K0, A2K2 and A2K3 on my pc, 3 times. I exported the registrey keys in a file for the tree access version in to one file. Everyone can download it from http://www.ithelps.be/temp/KeyForAccessDecompileShell.reg (watch for wrapping) Please, do not import the key straigtaway (by double clicking it). Edit it first and check if your access paths and versions match mine. The file says Access 2K0 in ..\Microsoft Office 2K\... Access 2K2 in ..\Microsoft Office\... Access 2K3 in ..\Microsoft Office 2003\... And ofcourse if I didn't put any trojan horses in it...

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.
