Is it possible to reverse a database after it has been converted into an executable file?
Thanks

No. Must have the original accdb to modify db then reissue as accde.

Damn!
Thanks for the speedy reply June.
Just did a quick test. I was able to modify a table (added a new field) and query but other objects and the VBA are not available for modification.

I should have said 'No, unless you want to pay for it.' I have no idea if they really can but given them benefit of the doubt.

An mde or accde is not an exe.
You cannot reverse the process. Not even when you pay.
Tables and queries are never protected.
Try to import from the mde or accde to see what's possible.
I also tested that. Only tables and queries are available for import.
How would db become a .exe file?
