Re decompiling: you can also set up a context menu option: In Win XP open an Explorer window. On the Folder menu select "Folder Options" select the File Types tab and locate and select the .MDB file type click the 'Advanced' button, there click the 'New' button. The 'New Action' dialog appears. Type a name for the new action: "decompile" enter the command line exactly as shown below, including and double quotes... "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" "%1" /decompile make sure the "Use DDE" checkbox is cleared. You can now decompile any MDB from a right-click on the file. Of course you still have to keep backups in case your use of the semi-documented /decompile switch goes awry.
