Need help with Access 2003

Question

I have a project I am working on for work and it was written in Access. I have no problem opening it at work. If I try to open it on my laptop I get 'Error in kc_Decrypt (2): 5 - Invalid procedure call or argument'. When open the file on mt laptop the security warning comes up warning me that the file may contain code intended to harm you computer, then when I click ok to open the file, since I know what it is and that it's safe to open, I get Error in kc_Decrypt (2): 5 - Invalid procedure call or argument. If I push OK 47 times the error goes away and the file opens. The once it opens, when I try to use any of the functions of the database, the same error comes back up. Any help you can lend will greatly appreciated.

You'll need to get to the Visual Basic Editor to fix this. Back up your database first (File, Backup Database). Try pressing ALT-F11 and, if the editor opens, find the procedure kc_Decrypt(2). Place apostrophes in front of all the lines in the procedure and see if the error stops.

If you cannot open the project, try holding the SHIFT key down when clicking the filename. Also, to get rid of the security message, you can go to Tools, Macro, Security and set it to Low.

I got it to visial basic but now it is asking for a password, I am going to have to ask the vendor if I can get the password. I doubt they will give it to me, so I guess this is about all the further I will get. Thanks for your help.

OK, try Tools, Macro, Visual Basic Editor.

You're correct. If you purchased this from a vendor, they will probably be able to help you.
