Is there any way to view the code behind a Form and Report on an mde file..
I did the stupid thing - all my people are using my mde then I worked on the
mdb thinking I had a back up.... Guess what....

The code doesn't actually exist anymore: it's been tokenized, and eliminated
in the MDE.

There are 3rd parties out there that claim they can recover your code,
though, such as Q-Built. See http://www.access.qbuilt.com/html/faq.html for
more details.

No, the code is fully compiled and not viewable/editable.

Whoops. Lesson 1 - always work on a backup. Sorry.

If you work on a corporate network perhaps you could get the file restored?
