A customer has only the fmx-files without the fmb's.
Is there a chance to get a piece of information out of this runtime-files ?
The customer didn't want to re-develop the whole application another time.
I don't think that it is possible, but I bet it is!

Actually, I think the real question here is:
Where are the .FMB (binary) files?
it's not God's hand that created the executables, those .FMX files had to be generated from a .FMB files somewhere in time and space. :-)
Gerd, It's not possible, if there's anyone on this planet (considering there are no Oracle experts in another planetary system) can retrofit or reverse engineer a .FMX file, that would be Oracle support.

Some could say that there is no sense to make a de-compilator, because it is so simple to keep the corresponding sources....
As far as I know, there is no tool to de-compile a Windows .exe.
I think that the customer would be advertised of this when he download the tool.

the FMB's are history, because a third party created them and this company didn't exist further more... and so the customer has a problem. A big one I think...

A big problem indeed...
I've seen a case like that here not too long ago, a software company went bankrupt (kaput) and the customers went crazy!!!
Luckily one of the customers made a deal with the company on purchasing the application, paid extra money and they have had a copy of the source to be held by a "third" party, in a safe deposit box, which was a bank I think.
talk about monopolizing... :-)
About the only thing you can do without the FMBs is to open the FMXs using Notepad. It will contain some readable text, if that's helpul. But a lot is unreadable binary.
