A database was written by a user who is no longer with the company. The
database has a startup form that makes it easy for the users to access the
necessary fill in forms. At the end of the month the current db
administrator (who is not Access savy) presses a command button on the start
up form and the monthly data from the database is exported into an excel
worksheet. (SO I THINK) There are no procedures defined in the properties of
the button. The only identification to the excel workbook is a hyperlink to
said excel workbook. What makes this even more mysterious for me (WHO does
use Access quite a bit) is that there are 7 worksheets within the workbook
and the data from Access goes to the right worksheet.

There are no macros written in excel that I can find and in access,
I've looked at the macros and there is nothing.
I've looked at the modules and there are none.
I've looked at each individual query, form and table and again....Nothing.

I'm going to post this in access help also because I don't know where to
find the answer.

Any advise would be GREATLY appreciated.

If you open the database and then press Alt plus F11, you should get into
VBE and there should be the project window in the upper left. In that
project window, the top level should show the name of your database and
under that should be "Microsoft Office Access Class Objects". If there is a
form listed under that, right click it and choose "Show Code". Can you see
any subroutines this way?

No, there is absolutely nothing.

Can these things be hidden and password protected? Could that be a reason
Sondra's not seeing them?
