Decompile

Does the /decompile option work with accdb files?

It certainly looks like it - I opened an .accdb database coontaining compiled VBA code with the /decompile switch. It went from 764 KB to 992 KB, and the Compile option in the Debug menu in the Visual Basic Editor was enabled again.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks Hans, I thought the file was supposed to shrink after a decompile

You have to perform a compact and repair in order to compare the size before and after. The database mentioned above shrank to 584 KB after compacting.
