mde

[Dan @BCBS]

I really need to deploy this database to the users today.
The database meets all the conditions to create an mde and it's open
exclusively but I get the error"Microsoft was unable to create an MDE
database"
1. The format is Access 2000
2. There is no password
3. It is not replocated
4. It does not refer to another database.
5. I open it exclusively.

Then I run the Make MDE file and I get the above error.

Please help.

Try compiling the database. The may be some stray code sitting out there
that is not compiled and/or has errors in it.

A rare but possible cause of being unable to create an MDE file, is
using properties or methods of the DBEngine object, without explicitly
providing the DBEngine qualifier. Eg. OpenDatabase, instead of
DBEngine.OpenDatabase. Check your code for any such code.

I had the same problem. I created a database in Access 2000. Later I wanted
to create an mde file using Access 2003. It wouldn't let me do it. I used
another computer with Access 2000 and was able to make the mde file. Hope
this helps.
