Importing forms from existing db

[Timtropolis]

Greetings all, I have an existing Access 2002 db that is having issues that compact and repair just isn't fixing. So my thought was to create a new blank db and then import all my existing objects into the new database.

Upon doing that , I open the new database and I find that all the code behind my forms does not import along with the form itself. When I look at properties, the events that are supposed to have code are there, but when I click the event to look at the code, there is none!! I looked to see if there was some option I needed to check off (to include code, etc) but I didn't see one.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA
Tim

Instead of import can you export? Just an idea.

Try to decompile your db.

Does your code compile?

Search the forum for decompile if you need more info.

ghudson:

Just to understand what you are saying, I use the /decompile option on the command line upon opening the database, then select Compile from the Debug menu?

What exactly will this do for me? never used it before and I want to understand a little bit more about what's actually goin on before I do it.

Thanks for the response.
