[AccessD] Access error

Hi William:

I am not sure now whether the decompile is working correctly. I added the
decompile feature to my 'file-type...MDB' options many years ago and other
than update it occationally depending on which version of Access I have been
using. I have not really checked it over.

Is there any more switches than just 
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\office(10 or 11 or 12)\access.exe
c:\project\my.mdb /decompile' ?

...never saw that problem but I note you said you had decompiled
...on the off chance that the decompile didn't actually run,
...I've found using the decompile switch to be very buggy
...it works ...but only if I do it by the numbers
...by itself, it runs but does nothing leaving only the illusion of a 
decompile

...my process is:

    Turn Off CompactOnClose
    Decompile
    Exit
    Open w/Shift
    Compact w/Shift
    Compile
    Compact

...that actually works reliably, where just running the decompile itself 
often does nothing real.
