Unfortunately i cannot see an scripts in the dictionary.
Guess i will have to re-do the whole thing from scratch.
Would have saved me quite a lot of time ..anyways
Thank you everyone for your help in this matter
Hi Hammad
Make a copy of the chunk file and rename it to .dic instead of .cnk.
Open it with Dexterity.
Can you see any global scripts?
If yes, then the source code was not stripped and you are in luck. You can recombine with a clean Dynamics.dic of the same version to recreate a development dictionary.
If no. Then you can save any added table definitions and forms changes etc. but you will need to write all the scripts again..... unless you can obtain the source from the original developer.
FYI:

Thanks,
Will share how it goes.
It is an old customization before my time and i only have the chunk to work with. It will be really hectic for me and I will have to start from scratch by looking how the customization functions.
Do you not have the source? And if not, why not? It can be possible, however there may be legal issues surrounding what you are trying to do.
