Can't delete module
in [Help]
|
From: Bob Darlington on 21 Jun 2010 02:31 I have a module named 'Module1' which was created in error. If I try to delete it I get the usual 'Do you wish to permanently delete....' message but the module remains. If I try to open it in design view, I get a message 'The module name 'Module1' is misspelled or refers to a module that doesn't exist'. So I can't open or delete it. Any ideas? -- Bob Darlington Brisbane
From: Douglas J. Steele on 21 Jun 2010 06:55 Have you tried compacting the database? If that doesn't help, create a new database and import all of the objects from the existing one into the new one. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://www.AccessMVP.com/DJSteele Co-author: Access 2010 Solutions, published by Wiley (no e-mails, please!)

From: Bob Darlington on 21 Jun 2010 18:30 Thanks Marsh and Doug, I'll try that today. By the way Marsh, what is the go with having to select all objects individually? -- Bob Darlington Brisbane "Marshall Barton" <marshbarton(a)wowway.com> wrote in message news:rksu16d6g76pv4d5gphdb3j4439sq4kvh5(a)4ax.com... > Bob Darlington wrote: > >>I have a module named 'Module1' which was created in error. >>If I try to delete it I get the usual 'Do you wish to permanently >>delete....' message but the module remains. >>If I try to open it in design view, I get a message 'The module name >>'Module1' is misspelled or refers to a module that doesn't exist'.
