As near as I can tell Access 2010 is extremely unstable. *Decompile sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. *It constantly crashes when opening anything dealing with VBA * *Perhaps it's MS's subtle way of moving developers from VBA into macros. Access 2010 is a pretty program. *As one manager said to me many years ago "I prefer an ugly program that works to a pretty program that doesn't." For those of you unfamiliar with the A2010 feature...one designs some tables and forms with some code and some modules. *Works like a champ. *Quit the app. *Re-open it. *Attempt to open a code module o r a form in design mode. *That generates a MS generated "Gee, we are sorry but we need to close this corrupted app." msgbox. I think we are stuck with an inferior product, Phil. FYI, I've been using 2010 for about 9 months as my primary version - both with new accdbs, old mdbs, and mdbs that were converted to accdbs. I have not had a corrupted database once. Not once. So perhaps it's somethingwi th your install? Maybe uninstall and reinstall? For me, 2010 is working like a charm, and I'm loving using it. I will say, though, that it has a problem with 2007 databases. Once you modify it in 2010, you can't use it again 2007, even if you don't apply a ny of the 2010-only features. But that problem is common knowledge. Anyway, I'm running XP and 32 bit Access 2010. FYI. Neil Hi Neil. *Knock on wood. *It's an issue MS is aware of. *I like A2010 tho I preferred the ribbon in A2007. *I'm sure my issue of corruption is due to some conflict with some hardware or software or security feature which I have no control over at work. *It's simply annoying to work on a mdb, close it, reopen it, and have it corrupted. What had me scratching my head was the running a Decompile from a desktop icon and failing but following a MS's solution to run the Decompile from DOS which works. *I am unsure why the decompile works from DOS but not from Windows.- I use a little batch file Copy "C:\Phil Data\Access\MDB 2010\Clubs 2012.accdb", "C:\Phil Data\Access\MDB 2010\Decompile Clubs 2012.accdb" "C:\Program Files (X86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Phil Data\Access\MDB 2010\Decompile Clubs 2012.accdb" /decompile This creates a new database "Decompile Clubs 2012.accdb" I then rename the original database and include the date, and rename Decompile Clubs 2012.accdbDecompile Clubs 2012.accdb back to the original name of "Clubs 2012.accdb" Spoke - yes actually spoke to a Microsoft professional about the problem,and there is a hotfix Seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2596585 Apparently if you are using 64 bit windows, the automatic fix thinks you will be using 64 bit Office, and I guess most of us are using 32 bit Office If you installed the x32-bit version of Office, select the “x86” Platform version of the fix. (office2010kb2596585fullfilex86glb) If you installed the x64-bit version of Office, select the “x64” Platform version of the fix. (office2010kb2596585fullfilex64glb) Seemed to work for me, but no guarantees Phil |
