create MDE before or after splitting?

[complexx]

I setup my security (or lack there of, hehe) and split the database. I relinked the tables.

Now, Access gets hung up when I try to create an MDE of the FE to distribute. It starts the process, asking me to select a folder and file name, I do that, and it gets no further in the process. Access says (not responding).

Should I have created the MDE before I split it? Or does crashing of Access have nothing to do with whether i create the MDE before or after splitting?

You should create the MDE after you split the db. Your db should be finished [no more changes] before you convert it to a MDE.

Have you compiled your db? You need to ensure that there are no errors with your code before you convert it to a MDE.

It compiles with no errors.
