Import Specs from Access 2000 to 97

[fasternu]

I have a corrupted db in Access 97 that I was able to convert to Access 2000 compact and repair and then convert back to Access 97 which I have successfully done several times before. The problem is now when I opened the db in 97 I get an error msg saying that my visual will be updated to the current version. I select ok and open the database and can see the tables correctly. What I cannot see are any of the import specs (approx 50) in the db eventhough I have verified the specs exist in 2000. Is there way I can recover these specs?

have you tried decompiling your 97 version to see if you can
"fix" the corruption

decompile all modules is this the same as compile and save all modules?? If not can you tell me how I would go about decompiling all modules. thx

no its not the same.I wouldnt recommend you do this with out
backing up any db you do this to,but i guess if yours is corrupted
and cant be used anyway
1.in windows start menu
2.select run
3.type in msaccess /decompile
4.select ok
5. select which database you want to decompile
6 a dialogue box will appear saying access has successfully .......
7.click ok
7.if successful,you will have to compile & save
