unconverted state error

[hbeer444]

"The database is in an unconverted state! This database has been converted from a prior version of Microsoft Access by using the DAO CompactDataas method instead of the Convert Database command on hte Tools menu. This has left the database in a partialy converted state...."

I got this msg after accidently deleting some currentdb.properties.

What now?????

Please help, I have lots of code in it that I need!

Hopefully you have a backup copy. You could try compact and repair, or decompile, but I suspect you might be hosed.

I guess I/m hosed for 1 days work, now I'm making a backup every 22-3 hrs I guess.

According to Microsoft, you can only delete user defined database properties but in my code I accidently deleted a bunch of builtin properties using:
currentdb.Properties.delete ...
bad mistake!!

Yep, backing up more often is the answer. I just automatically make a copy of any files I am going to work on before I open them. That way, I never lose more than one "session" worth of work. Hopefully you remember what you did . . .
