Save Operation Failed error after decompile

[unsted_t]

I'm beginning to lose the will to live over this one. I've been merrily developing a large application (ADP) in Access 2000 and 2003 over the past 5 years. The size of the ADP is now around 30MB and it contains the following quantities of objects:

23 modules
424 forms (409 with modules)
296 reports (284 with modules)

My problem is that whenever I use the decompile switch and then recompile I get the dreaded "The Save Operation Failed" message on saving the code and the whole ADP is then rendered corrupt. My only option is to create a new ADP and import each object type (Modules first, then forms then reports) separately, compiling as I go. This seems to work OK but when I open a file I've been working on in Access 2000 on an Access 2003 PC it seems to decompile it by itself and then won't compact/save. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I've searched Google and can't come up with any reasonable suggestions.

Dont know what causes it but perhaps there is a workaround.

You could split your FE into a few functional ones and then join them together in a "main" FE. In you "main" FE use the reference to join the smaller FE's into the main.
Never done this before but you never know.

Secondly there are tools which can fix your corrupt databases like AccessFix. www.accessfix.com you can download a demo there or you can browse the usenet groups for a trial version.
