Hi there
I have a problem with a database, that we've been developing for about 10 years, starting in Access 2000. It's not huge, about 10 MB in size, and I start to have more and more problems that when I add an object to a form or report, the access crashes when I attempt to save the form/report. If I retry the same thing, it crashes again. Sometimes if I hit save after every move I do, it works and I can add an object. :confused:

Question: How could such a thing be repaired? (I've already created a new database and imported all objects into it, the behavior stays the same)

Or: Is there some software out there, that would "read" the old database, and freshly create each form and each object in each form with the same properties in a new database?

Thanks for help :o

Have you tried a /decompile (http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/decompile.htm) or Compact and Repair?

I've done a compact/repair of course (more than once!). And I've imported everything into a new database. I haven't done a /decompile. How do I do that?
