My VBA Project seems to be corrupted. When I try to open a module I get a "Module name 'xxxx' is misspelled or relates to a module that doesn't exist". This all seemed to happen after a run time error inferring a corruption had taken place. I have tried to open Access in decompile mode and then open the data base, but still no luck...though I'm not sure how you tell its in decompile mode. I'd desperately like to get some code out that I've been working on for a couple of days.... I can open the tables and queries, so it seems its just the VBA project.
Any ideas? is there a way of accessing the modules outside of the data base?

In order to create an indipendent runtime file.accdr out of a file.accdb, I've downloaded AccessDeveloperExtensions.exe and AccessRuntime.exe and installed them.
Update:
See article Here is the Google Translater .
Update end.
Opening Access 2007 I could create the install package for creating the file.accdr out of the file.accdb.
The problem I get is that an important function does not work anymore. It's the export of a report, wherelse the export of a table still works.
Opening Access I get the following message:
you don't have a source code control program (such as Microsoft Visual Source Safe) installed on
your machine. The source code control commands are therefore not available
I click on OK and Access opens my db.
My db is based on a table, a form, a report and a query. Exporting the report worked in the past, but doesn't work anymore. The message shown is the following:
Impossible to complete output operation. Assure that there are no syntax errors. If the syntax is
correct, reinstall Microsoft Office Accept...
(I've translated the text from Italian).
Now is there another, easier way from reinstalling the hole thing? Because after reinstalling Access I will also have the need of creating databases.accdr and so I have reinstall runtime.exe and DeveloperExtensions again, what would result in the same problems I had before.
Somebody could help?
I am tasked with fixing some bugs that an access 2010 database, written 10 or so years ago, has. The database has been functioning but has a few bugs in report generation that need to be fixed (ie: bugs are not impeding overall functionality).
Since I am relatively new to access 2010, I wanted to create a working copy of the entire database, VBA and all, so that I could get into the VBA code and figure out what is causing the bugs without accidentally sending some of the automatic emails or changing pertinent information in the data. I have tried saving the database with a new name, copying it in the folder and pasting elsewhere, and creating a backup and saving that elsewhere.
Each attempt yields the same issue: the VBA project not being readable. It gives the following message when I open any copy:
if included picture doesn't load: tl/dr: database cant be opened because VBA project cant be read, if "ok" is clicked vba project will be deleted..I have searched high and low, asked everyone that has used the database, nobody knows how to fix the issue and I do not feel comfortable changing anything in the live copy.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
One option you might try is to create a new blank database file and attempt to import all of the database objects from a copy of your target database into the new database file using the import wizard. If that's successful it won't be an exact replica of the previous database with regards to settings, but will include all of the database objects/code at least.
I have a MS Access Database Frontend that contains a large body of macros, queries, and custom VBA code. This frontend connects through linked tables to our backend access database. In order to allow multiple users to use the database we publish an ACCDE version. For some reason macros are not being included in this published version. Normally you can't see the code but the module names are always listed. This is completely blank, no macros, no vba, and auto exec fails to call a few custom functions as well. VBA code is simply not included.
I've tried:
Compiling the VBA Code -> Works without errors and publishing still doesn't include macros
Saving my frontend as a new file and then publishing
Compact and Repair
Different OS/Different Version of Access/Different Computer
I'm not seeing any errors when publishing, all my references are there, there's no reason for this to be failing as far as I can tell. The only indication that this happened is opening the ACCDE version and getting an error about auto_exec being unable to locate my function.
Ideally I'd like to not have to restore a version and lose changes that I've made.
I have a database with tables that are linked to a different database in a network drive. (The other database is on a different machine, and a network drive on my machine is mapped to it.)
While I was running some VBA code the connection to the network drive was broken, and I got an error message.
When I tried accessing any local tables in my database, or when I tried closing Access I got error messages.
I closed access through the task manager, and now when I open it I get the following message:
The VBA modules in this database appear to have been saved with errors. Access can recover the modules, but you should backup the database first...
I backed up and then clicked OK, but the modules have been entirely wiped out.
In the backup I cannot access the modules, I just get that message again.
Please help! Sadly I do not have a backup from before, and I need the modules. Is there a way to recover at least the modules? Even in text file?
I tried importing the modules into a different database, but I get the same error message.
EDIT: When I try to recover I get the following message:
Cannot open database ''. It may not be a database your application recognizes, or your file may be corrupt.
What does this mean? It seems like Access is trying to access an empty string.
oh... That one hurts! I've been in a similar situation but not exactly the same way. The good news is that you can almost always recover from these situations. Try this: Create a new blank database and import all tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules into the new database...
If that's not possible you may have to decompile the database. See: https://www.fmsinc.com/microsoftaccess/errors/Bad_DLL_Calling_Convention.asp
Do double-check the path. Most likely it is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE"
and a space is missing:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE" /decompile
That's for A2016. It is Office15 for A2013.
I work with Access daily, and this situation is unlike anything I've ever seen Access do:
I created a database tool in Access for a report I run at work. The other day I was using it, and Access abruptly closed itself down. I went to reopen the tool, and I got an error saying "Microsoft Access has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you when a solution is available."
A few minutes later it prompts me to create a backup, which also does the same thing when I try to open it...
...unless...
I open Access itself and search for the original tool. Then it opens just fine.
I have tried repairing this database, and nothing works. It simply won't let me open this tool unless I go through Access first.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? What gives???

A few things I would try
1) Create an entirely new DB, and import all of the objects from the problematic database. Any corrupt objects will show as an error during that process. You may get lucky and the new DB can simply be the new production DB.
2) Hold down the Shift key as Access is loading to bypass any startup code.
The problem is likely in the VBA link, which the new DB shell will fix.
