Doug: Have you tried creating a new, empty db and file-->get external data-->import thing to see if anything shows up in the objects window?

The interesting thing is that I can compact it from Access. I can also decompile from the command line . This behavior doesn't make sense to me. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Collins, Darryl Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 3:24 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access 2007 database file won't open "If you open access and then open that database from Access it does the same thing?" I would suggest you try this as well. I have had numerous instances in A2003 where you double click on the icon and nothing happens, but if you open Access and then the database file via "File > Open" it will open up normally and behave as expected. Not sure if it has anything to do with your A2007 issue. Worth a try though... Cheers Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gary Kjos Sent: Thursday, 14 January 2010 10:18 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access 2007 database file won't open Maybe try opening it with the shift key down? If you open access and then open that database from Access it does the same thing? Not much help I know. I don't use 2007 at work. I have it at home is my only exposure.
