FE keeps decompiling

cmd
Hi all,

I have a 97 frontend which opens to a menu screen. I can compile the
frontend and close it, but when I reopen it and then open any module in
design view, it appears that the FE is in a decompiled state again.

I can open and close older, backup versions of the FE without this
happening -- i.e., the FE remains in the compiled state.

I have not added any new code to the main menu, nor any new public
functions. I can close and reopen the main menu without disturbing the
compiled state of the FE. All other aspects of the FE (forms, reports,
etc.) seem to be working fine.

Any ideas how I can track down what's causing the FE to lose its
compiled state? I know that I've added new forms, reports, and code
attached to those specific forms and reports, but (alas) I don't keep a
record of each change I make to the FE. Would appreciate any help you
could provide.

Thanks,
Mark

I imported all the objects into a new, blank database; renamed it to
the original name and everything works fine -- the FE remains in the
compiled state. This seems to have fixed the problem, although I'm
still curious as to what was causing the problem in the original.

Thanks,
Mark

I've seen a couple of articles on the internet that VB.NET applications can be decompiled very easy. For those who have had experience with this, is it true? What steps can be taken to avoid this? I am using VB.NET Express but am willing to buy something (within reason) to prevent easy decompiling. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
