"Steps To Decompile Your MS Access-Database
1)On a Windows system go to Start and type ‘msaccess.exe /decompile ‘in the Run command line. Here msaccess.exe includes the complete path of the Access Database.
2)Now go to Access and open the database you want to decompile.
3)Open any module as per your requirement and compile it through Debug, Compile.., and then File, Save...."
My question:
It´s about ACCESS 2013.
Everyone is mention the Debug in Tool menu.
There is no Debug option under Tools in our MS Access 2013 Database:
Please see screenshot (Swedish version)
Here´s the english translate the sceenshot.
-References
-Macro
-Properties for DB
-Digtial sinature
As you can see, no DEBUG in the below screenshot.
Really appreciate your answer
Hi,
It is not about the Tools menu. The
Debug menu should be Felsök and
Compile YourVBAProjectName
should be the first menu item within there, whatever it is called in Swedish.

- tbennekik1Copper ContributorHi,
I do have a question about the path. Is it the path to de msaccess.exe program or is it the path to the database you want to decompile?Its the path to the Access executable followed by /decompile
For example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE" /decompile
This will open Access for you to select your file for decompiling
Or you can do this in one step as follows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE" /decompile "Full\Path\To\Your\Database\File"
For more info on command line switches, see my article:
