MDE FIle - How to view code

I have a set of reports in Microsoft Access that use a single oracle database, now it uses an MDE file to display these reports via a form . How can I view the code that is used to generate these reports ?

Short answer: You can't. All .mde files have the source code stripped out of them precisely so that it cannot be altered or extracted.

Longer answer: You can't directly retrieve the source code from an .mde file because it's not in there. There may be an application out there that could decompile .mde code, but I don't know of anyone who has used such a thing.
