[AccessD] Loss of Access 2007 Code Changes

Hi Max et al
I've experienced this PITA too.

I've never been able to quite quantify it - Apart from saying - 'Somehow
I've lost my last set of changes'

Sadly I discovered the issue when I was at a client's office. Made all the
changes and updates as requested at home - popped it onto a USB dongle and
appeared at the client's office. Ready to go
Did the usual thing with versions on site - only to discover my way cool
changes were not on the dongle as I thought they should be.

Sadly, I was unable to restore so I lost hours and hours of work and so had
to re-do the same job for the client - Of course - They ain't paying - nor
should they.

So I re-did it all (a second time) saved again to the dongle and off I went
a week later - Only to discover (Shock horror) the version I ended up taking
to the client has 'some' of the original code loss and some of the last
attempts to get it back - I have since moved machines so I essentially have
2 working 'latest' versions I have to try and merge or re-write (again)

I am using Access2003 but on a VISTA machine

This new "Did you want to replace the file or keep 2 versions of the same
file" feature has always bothered me - Of course I have no proof, but I have
suspected the issue is somewhere in that 'feature' - So not necessarily
Access 2007

OK - See ya

Helen Feddema just reported this in the latest edition of her Access Watch
newsletter.

Loss of Access 2007 Code Changes
Recently, I have heard reports of code changes being lost in Access 2007
(and I have experienced it myself several times, especially when
transferring databases to and from clients).  It is a specific type of loss,
where after making changes to database code, saving the code and closing the
database, then the next time the database is opened the last saved change
has been undone.  If you made a backup of the database immediately after
making the change, usually the backup database does have the last code
change, so you can restore it.  Or you may have saved your code to a text
file or Word document, and then you can restore it from that document.

What is going on with A2k7?
