Making an MDE Database

[Dwight]

When I try to make and MDE database I get the following
error: "Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE
database". That is the only error that I get.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

The database consists of approximately 65 forms, 50
tables, 45 queries, and 70 reports.

Thanks in advance!

Two possibilities come to mind:

1. There may be coding errors or problems in the database; these will
prevent the creation of an MDE. Open any code module and, from the VBA
menu, select Debug, then Compile. If there are any errors, you will see an
error message and the problem line of code will be highlighted. Continue
compiling until the compile completes with no messages at all.

2. If you are using Access 2002 or 2003, the default database format is
Access 2000. Unfortunately, if you use the Access 2000 database format in
Access 2002/3, you cannot create an MDE. You may only create an MDE of an
Access 2000-format database using Access 2000.
