Creating an MDB

[battenberg]

Hi, I've been trying to create an MDB file of my database with litle luck.

when I try and click the make MDE, the computer locks up and the processor goes into meltdown! I have to quit Access through TaskManager to bring it round.

I previously exported every element of the database one at a time to a new DB, and on each tested to see if the MDE would work. I identified 4 forms and 1 report which would prevent it making the MDE. I started the new database from there. Now I have re- created the forms and I get the same problem as before,

Does anybody have a clue what is going on or where i should look to resolve this , as I dont want to have to do all that exporting/testing again..????

Have you checked for compile errors in all of your code? If you have a compile error you will not be able to make the mde

Thanks Keith,

this may sound stupid, but how do I check for compile errors in my code?

I get no runtime errors! is there a way to batch test???

Open up the VB editor and select Debug/Compile from the toolbar.
