UNLOCK A SECURED CODE MODULE
Hi All. I need to send a "patch" to a remote user to replace a form in an
Access 2007 application. The code behind the forms of that database has been locked with a password. In order to copy the new form into the place of the previous one I first need to unlock the code, copy the form and then relock the code. Everything is quite simple except I cannot get the code to unlock from the "patch" application. The password is known to me. Any pointers will be appreciated. -- Kepior Senso Fumor |

Hi Tom,
That was a retorical question, wasn't it? I bet that we are both thinking the answer is "not split". -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two.

Hi Tom. Thanks for your reply. Your guess is incorrect - the db is split but
the front end is 160Mb and cannot be sent by mail. The user is in a different country quite far from me. The change consists of 4 lines of code that need to be replaced. The code module is locked from viewing and I want to try and avoid giving the user the rights to fiddle with the code. Hence my question. How do I unlock a code module from an outside application? -- Kepior Senso Fumor "Tom van Stiphout" wrote: On Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:16:10 -0800, Jerry Whittle wrote: Yep. So that others may learn.

Hence my question. How do I unlock a code module from an outside application? You may want to use some sort of remote desktop application such as GoToMeeting or Windows Terminal Server so that you can log on to the user's computer over the web, twiddle the code yourself, and disconnect without the user ever seeing your password. -- John W.
