My Access frontend is corrupted. Lately IT has been pushing out these updates that's been causing everyone to get the blue screen of death. While I was compacting my database (frontend), I got the BSOD, and lo and behold, it corrupted my file.

No real data is stored in the database since its split, and I have old backups, however, I have a couple of dozen hours of work on the VBA code that I really really want, but didn't backup. I get the error message: The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'database'. Make sure the object exists, etc, etc...

I've tried the common tricks to get it open and/or repair it, but to no avail. I found a tool online that extracts the data, queries, and such, but it doesn't appear to extract the VBA code.

I'm taking a shot in the dark here, I realize, but by chance, does anyone have a way to extract the VBA code from a corrupted database?
