Thanks Jeanette
That's effectively what I did (twice).
I zipped the mdb(once).
Open normal and compact. Close.
Open cmd prompt and navigate to dir containing msaccess.exe
msaccess /decompile s:\...\my.mdb Close.
Open again. Compact. Compile menu option grey.

I've got 97, 2000, 2003 on my system.
Think I'll create some shortcuts too.
I'll put a copy of your notes in my reference files. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your perseverance.
The decompile must have worked because the event is now
firing consistently!!!!!
