    Angry DB update after deployment as an executable


    I have a DB which was written in Access 2000 which has been deployed as an executable able to be installed on client boxes in the runtime environment. I need to make some updates to the forms and reports in the DB. I have been able to get into the tables but have not been able to locate the forms and reports or any other front end DB objects. Does anyone know where these would be located and how I can access them to make the necessary updates. Any help that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Can't modify design of mde/accde. Have to go back to the mdb/accdb file, make edits, repackage as mde/accde.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

    June7,
    Thanks for your quick reply! That was the same conclusion that I drew from my research, but I am still hoping that someone knows a workaround because I do not have the .mdb file. I no longer work with the person who designed the DB and he is the only one that has the file.

    The better find a way to get it from him. There might be some third party software out there that can 'uncompile' a mde/accde. Review http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/...d.php?t=168554
