Unable to make mde file

[djones]

Hi,

I'm using A2003 to try and create an mde file but it is not playing ball. The mdb is compiling fine with no errors but when I click on "make mde file" and supply the path/filename, Access appears to try to open the mdb again and prompts me with a security warning saying that 'opening this type of file may be harmful.....etc'. The mde does not get created. Any ideas?

Did you convert your file format to ac2003? I believe the default is ac2000 but it needs to be in ac2003 format in order to create an MDE.

Thanks RG.

I think I've just found out what the cause is. It's down to the security settings that I had setup under Tools,Macro,Security. I've set these to low and it works fine now.
