Access MDE File

[AccessDude]

I installed Access with Office Suite (Pro). The menu
option "Make MDE File" is greyed out. Any ideas why this
may be so? Do I need a special version of Access to make
MDEs

What version of Access? A common problem is when using Access 2002. By
default, Access 2002 stores its files in Access 2000 format, and it cannot
convert a file in Access 2000 format to an MDE.

Another common problem is that there's something that can't be compiled in
the code. With any code module open, select Debug | Compile All Modules from
the toolbar, and see whether it uncovers a problem. Fix it, and keep doing
this until no more problems are highlighted.

Thanks Doug,

Your response resolved my MDE file issue too. I didn't consider having to
compile the code running behind the forms before creating the MDE file.
Thanks again!
