I not sure you are having a problem.

If you have a mdb database (with data), and you convert this to a mde, then
all data changes will occur in the mde.

The mdb is not required, or connected in any special way. The ONLY related
issue here is that you MUST keep the original mdb, as you cannot modify the
code in the mde....

If you EVER plan to update the mde code, or reports, you MUST return to the
original mdb to make these changes. However, if you re-deploy the mde, and
the database was not split you WILL BE OVERWRITING the customers data.

thus, for all intensive purposes, you can't really officially use a mde
unless you split your database. A mde is of NO use if the tables are in this
mde also!!

I talk about how this process of building a mde works here, but you do have
to split first....
