Good luck GrimRe. Hopefully the developer has kept copies of it and can help you if you locate him. Sorry to hear that everythingaccess could not recover it for you.

I'd be interested in hearing how you fare with locating the developer and obtaining a good copy. If he/she is a good developer, they'll keep copies of it. If they're not, you may have a challenge ahead of you. I'm not sure how much the developer charged you but the unprotected source code should have been supplied (something to keep in mind on future development.)

Keep us posted if you can and I hope you find the developer. These kind of developers give good, honest developers a bad name.

I don't necessarily agree 100% with that. I protect my source code in many cases, to prevent piracy, as do MANY other developers.

Indeed they do. All developers should have a strategy in place for ensuring their customers don't lose the right to make changes to their software and keep it maintained -- even under the most unusual circumstances. Including the sudden and unexpected death of the developer.

I didn't get too far either.

Seems to me the file is corrupted along with the MDW being missing? See attached image for the message I get.

The first attached file contains an MDW that is 224K. Now that's too big to just have one user in it called Admin with no password.
