Mde

[Andren]

I have created a small database, just containing one table.
Now I want to make a MDE-version. But Access refuses!!
Was not able to do that - it says without excuses or explanation!
Why?
Can anyone give me an explanation?

Do you have any code behind your forms ?
I would say yes.
This error usually occurs when you have an error in your code.
When in the Vb window go to Debug - Compile. This will analize your code and should highlight any errors. Once repaired the mde should create no worries

Dave:

I believe that another thing that will keep an MDE from being created is left over code from a deleted command button (is that correct?) If so, you would need to look for any code that is left over from a deleted button and delete the code as well.

I don't think that "orhaned" code from a deleted control will keep Access from creating an MDE as long as there are no errors in the code ......

This problem usually is from error in the code. Access must compile all code before converting and creating the MDE. If there is a problem in the compiling ... Access will error.

The solution is to manually compile "all modules" and Access will usually uncover the problem. Once the code will compile ... Access can create the MDE file.
