Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want.
Richard, In the process of trying to figure out my last post (MS 2003 Vs MS2007), I changed the encrypted Service.accde to a .mdb, and I noticed the tables could be imported into a blank database. However the forms & modules were shadowed out. Is there anyway around this or is this another limitation to MS Access?
And for my previous post... I think I should have saved the Service.accdb file to Access 2003 first before encrypting the database in 2007. When trying to open the database in 2003 the MainMenuF only shows the service and exit buttons aftering logon. The table defs were not linked. Please advise because my users use both 2003 and 2007.
Reply from Richard Rost:
Once you ENCRYPT your database file (make an MDE or ACCDE) you effectively LOCK the forms, reports, macros, and modules. This is designed so you can give your database to others and not risk them getting hold of your "design" code. You'll need to use your original ACCDB or MDB file.
