[AccessD] Decompile

I don't bother with the registry keys, I just create a SendTo shortcut
for each version of Access I'm running.  Something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp
C:\Windows\System32\MyWrk.mdw "%1" /decompile

Then all I need do is right click the file in Windows explorer and pick
the version I want to send it to for decompile.

I've seen this several times, just never got around to doing it.  (Still
haven't, for the decompile.....).  But I did add 'Open with Access 97',
'Open with Access 2000', and 'Open Secured DB'.  Had to do it twice
though, because once Access 2000 was opened, the settings switched, so I
had to duplicate them.

That Open Secured DB is something I should have put into place a while
back. All of my secured databases have the same security settings for my
'personal' admin account, so no matter what database I build, with
security, and no matter what .mdw I create, I can use the same
account/password with any of the .mdw's, to gain admin access to it.

Gotta love it! Thanks for the thread...it kicked me into gear on this...

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.

Cheers

Stuart
