Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] Binary Data in Forms and Reports

hi Norbert,

thanks for sharing.

The text files created by SaveAsText are undocumented, and indeed interesting. Several years ago, John Viescas said to "Delete everthing between NameMap = Begin and the matching End statement and save the file." for cleaning up what AutoCorrect does.

kind regards,

How and when the binary data is created in forms and reports?

�

I use the two undocumented functions. Application.SaveAsText and Application.LoadFromText �functions to export the form/report definitions, identify the binary data blocks and

I clean up the definition, and then import it again.

The Binary Data Blocks starts in �Parameter = Begin� and ends with �End�.

Also the I delete the �Checksum=� line. (should be on line 3)

The data blocks are in the following parameters.

• NameMap
• PrtMip
• PrtDevMode
• PrtDevNames
• PrtDevModeW
• PrtDevNamesW

Thanks,
