Is it possible, by looking at something about a Microsoft Access 2016 .accde file, to figure out what .accdb file a user converted to create the exe only version of the database?

I have inherited a split database that is in bad shape. Everyone in our department uses their own personal .accde, cutely personalized with their name in the filename (not helpful). What I cannot figure out, based on the chaos of the LAN folder in which the database is located, is which .accdb file--if any of the ones in the folder--was actually used to create all of the .accde files everyone is using. There are five candidate .accdb front ends, all with similar Dates Modified.

I need to update the VBA in the .accdb and can't figure this out. Help?

Thank you,

KJ

    If only five varieties, open the accdb files one by one and study its pecularities. – Gustav Aug 05 '22 at 15:49
  • You can use methods from [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/187506/how-do-you-use-version-control-with-access-development) to make the comparison easier (using some diff tool on the text files). – Andre Aug 05 '22 at 19:18
  • Thank you for the link. I may have oversold the "only five candidates"; there are actually about 35 more files in a subfolder that could also be the .accdb. – GRIFFIKA Aug 08 '22 at 12:26
