Hacking an MDE?

[CptCrusty1]

I firm I contract for has an old MDE. The developer that built it is long gone and there is apparently no source MDB for it. The database is starting to have issues and they need someone to tweak some things as well. Any ideas? Probably an Access97 db. Its pretty old.

Thx.

You can't change the forms and reports. They are compiled, there's no way to edit them.
If you can see the Database Window then you can change the tables and queries.

I was kind of afraid that was the answer. I'll pass this on to the head wazoo's and muckety-mucks. Hopefully I won't walk away with my head missing... LOL

Thanks

Have a look at this link [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.soft411.com/software/mde-decompiler.html[/url]

Apprantly there is a program that decompiles mde, they are selling it 55$, I dint take further look into it but there probably is a way...
