ACC: How to Edit Library Databases (1.x/2.0)

MORE INFORMATION

Method 1

1. While Microsoft Access is not running, open the MSACC20.INI file located in your Windows directory with any text editor (such as Windows Notepad).
2. Add the line "DebugLibraries=True" (without quotation marks) to the [Options] section of the file. The section will look like:
   

          [Options]
          Systemdb=c:\Access\SYSTEM.MDA
          UtilityDB= c:\Access\Utility.MDA
          DebugLibraries=True
   						

3. Save and then close the file.
4. Start Microsoft Access.
5. Open any database.
6. Open any module.
7. From the View menu, choose Procedures.
8. In the Databases box, select the library that you want to edit.

Method 2

1. While Microsoft Access is not running, open the MSACCESS.INI (version 1.x) or MSACC20.INI (version 2.0) file in your Windows directory in any text editor (such as Windows Notepad).
2. Locate the entry for the library file that you want to edit. The entry will be similar to:
   

         Wzlib.mda=rw
   						

3. Comment the line out by adding a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line. The entry should be similar to:
   

         ;Wzlib.mda=rw
   						

4. Save and then close the .INI file.
5. Start Microsoft Access.
6. From the File menu, choose Open Database.
7. Select the library you want to open. Note that by default, the Open Database dialog box only displays files with .MDB extensions. Either type the name of the library you want to open, or type "*.MDA" (without quotation marks) in the File Name box to display files with .MDA extensions.
