    Copy VBA from one database to another

    I have a database that loss all of the VBAs. I have a backup to the database that shows the VBAs. How can I copy the VBA from one database to the other.

    Note: I can't use the backup because I've entered a lot of data since it was backed up.

    Sounds like it's not split, which is your first mistake. I'd use the backup but delete the tables and import them from the other.

    What causes VBA to disappear from a form? I have had this occur twice now and had to import forms again.

    Last question: have multiple users of same Access dbase on the same network drive. Can multiple users use the same form at the same time or will that form indicate it is in use/locked ?

    As discussed in the link, users should not share the file. It will corrupt sooner or later, and could be the cause of your problems. Each user should have a copy of the front end on their computer. Failing that, they should have their own copy on the server.

    I like the idea of placing all of the user front ends on the network (about 12 users total). Can I place the front end in the same folder as the back end? The split only creates one front end file....that I copy and place on each users' desktop or laptop?

    I am trying to allow more than one user at a time - 12 users total but probably only 3 or 4 max at a time due to shift work.

    Is there a downside to placing the FE on the same network drive and folder as the BE vs placing FE on individual desktops?

    Lastly, is it unwise to have a FE on a laptop that connects to server from a vehicle via a 4G VPN connection. Connection is occasionally dropped by the 4G phone carrier. Will this corrupt the BE, or just the FE, or both? I have lost all VBA too when 4G or VPN disconnects. Dbase not split yet but will be this week based on comments in this forum.
