Does anyone have any ideas on how to write self-destruct code?
I need to run a one-time procedure the next time a database opens. If the
procedure is successful, the procedure needs to be deleted and the code that
initiated the procedure needs to delete itself.
Thanks for any suggestions!

"Self destruct" code is not a good idea! Changing a code
module is a design time operation, which should not be
performed at run time.
Whatever the one time code does must leave some kind of
tracks behind itself. You can add code to test for the
tracks and skip running the one time procedure if it has
already run.

Are you writing some malware that you have to delete the code after it
has run one time?

Sounds like it. Why give someone like knowledge.

Not at all!!!
It's for a one-time cleanup of data in a database.

Just create a one field table with a Yes/No field indicating whether the
one-time code has run. Test it at the beginning of the code and set it to True
at the end. There is no need to "destroy" the code.

Put the code in it's own module and use
docmd.deleteobject acModule, "EvilCode"

That's what I had some concerns about...giving you a method to do a "one
time cleanup" of data. I know people that wouldn't mind if some virus
writers were castrated, had their hands cut off, or simply had a bullet
fired into their brains.
We don't know you. Your request is odd and raises red flags.

You could probably wire up a relay that was activated by the end of the
code, that set of a lump of C4 or Semtex. That would "self destroy" the
code.

Write it in VBScript and call it from your app using the Shell function. The VBScript can self destruct
upon completion.

Beyond being related to the family of man, no.
Looking back to your 4/2/2004 request "Does anyone know of any site one
could go to, upload several thousand social security numbers and get the
current address of the matches to the SSNs?" I think most people in this
thread have you pegged correctly...or else as a troll.
