Default 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.

Why are you not sending the user a completely new front-end?

Hi Tom,

That was a retorical question, wasn't it? I bet that we are both thinking
the answer is "not split".

Yep. So that others may learn.

In our company when we get a new client with an unsplit db, we don't
work on their issues, but first split the db and deploy it again.
Then we work on a new FE. The OP's problems just do not happen.

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?

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.
