"Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE database"

I get this message when I try to create the mde for the
front end of my payroll database. What can I check. I
have all right and securities set for me correctly. I do
not know what else to look for.

Thanks for any help,
Rick

Open the mdb and hit Ctrl-G. Go to Debug and choose Compile. If there are
any errors that show up, you'll need to fix these first - then create the
mde.

Another reason that it may not be working is if the database is in 2000
format and you're using 2002/2003 (check the title bar of the db window).
Convert to your version (Tools, Database Utilities, Convert) and then make
the mde.
