    Removing "marks" from database

    Hello

    I've got project in my school which is Access database.
    My teacher said that if she notice any signs of using someone's else
    project, then she will fail that person.
    I've used some parts of my friend's database and now when I open my mdb in
    notepad, I can see names of my friend's labels, fields etc. names.
    It's strange because I've deleted all that fields via Access in my database.
    Is there any way to clean them ?
    I've already compacted and repaired my database.

    Greets,

    Re: Removing "marks&quo t; from database

    lmao, the "owner" of the db is set when a table/form/query/module/macro
    is set when the item is made...

    There is an easy way to fix it, but, that would be cheating, now
    wouldn't it?

    I would suggest this (This would be the HARD way):
    Make a NEW database,
    look at his work, and go through each object, and replicate it
    yourself.

    I know you wanna go the easy route, but, this will teach you more about
    how Access works. Trust me that it may seem stupid, but VBA is a great
    way to learn the basics of object orientated programming.

      Yes, do the work your teacher told you to do instead of copying part of
      it from your friend.

        This is the way I did but one or two times I copied my friend's query to my
        db to test why my version doesn't work and deleted it after checking but it
        seems Access still remember it "marks"

        I code C++ so I know something about object oriented programming :)
        Like I said before, I was looking at my friend's project and adapting it in
        mine and I must admit I've learned a lot of VBA ;)

        Could You give me this easy way of fixing that ? :)

          The usual way to recover from this sort of problem is to restore the
          database from a backup taken before you made those changes. You might be
          one of the few people who learns this before they start their first job.
          Learning that lesson is worth more than a few marks.

            Re: Removing &quot;marks&quo t; from database

            You could compress the database after removing the offending objects,
            this should remove traces of his stuff. And, if your teacher asks, you
            can always tell him/her that you were trying to learn from your friend,
            so you imported his work, and was figuring out how it worked.

            I am sure, however, your teacher will not use a text editor to check
            for tracings of other peoples work.

              Create a new blank MDB. Import everything from your "cheater" MDB into the
              new blank MDB. This will cleanup the garbage you are seeing.

                  Ya, I think Stephen kind of let the cat out of the bag.

                    I quit smoking several days ago. I am still at the point where I will try to
                    piss anyone off that I can.
