VBA/Microsoft Access Question 2

[techguy1187]

Hello. I was given a VBA/Microsoft Access program to fix. It was written 2 years ago and worked well, but it is now giving the user error messages. The user (who is not familiar with anything behind the programming) gave me three flash drives to review. When I load them, all I see is the user screens where you enter the new data each time. It appears that the queries and macros are disabled from view somehow. I read part of a VBA instructional book, and I followed the instructions to supposedly enable the view, but it doesn't do it. I don't see any options that would enable me to view the queries and macros to see what is causing the problem. I'm certainly no computer expert, and I'm wondering if I am missing the obvious. Will you please help me?

If the database has an extension of .mdb, you can open it up in developer mode by holding down the shift key while opening it. If it's an .mde, then it has been compacted and stripped of all source code.
