[AccessD] Decompile / compile

Yes!

After you've opened the file using the decompile shortcut:

1) Open a standard module.
2) Select Debug | Compile [Name]

That's all!

You can make this slightly easier by adding the Decompile toolbar button to
the Standard toolbar:

1) View | Toolbars | Customize
2) Select the Commands tab
3) Select the Debug Category (don't necessarily check it - just click to
make it blue)
4) At the top of the Command list is a Compile Project button.  Drag that to
the Standard toolbar.  I put it immediately to the right of the properties
button because I use that frequently.

Now you can decompile at any time just by pushing one toolbar button.

Another very helpful button is Clear All Breakpoints.  Just scroll down the
Commands list until you see that button, and drag it to the Standard
toolbar.  I put this just to the right of the Decompile button.

Once you make these changes, these buttons will show in all the Access code
windows.

HTH!

Subject: [AccessD] Decompile / compile

I use a shortcut to Access with the /Decompile switch such that when I use
that shortcut Access 
opens with the decompile stuff.  I then open the container I want to
decompile and the decompile 
happens.

I have always then closed Access and opened it again through another
shortcut so that the decompile 
is not being used.

My question is, can I do the decompile, and then just compile without
closing and reopening Access. 
  I assume that I can but I have never been sure on that.
