Can't Create an mde

[Guest]

I have Access 2003. I want to create an mde. I load up the database that I
want to create an mde of. However, the option to create an mde file is faded
out. Please advise.

Make sure that your database is in the Access 2002/2003 file format (the
default for Access 2003 is the Access 2000 file format). Look under Tools |
Database Utilities | Convert Database. If you've got the option to convert
it to the Access 2002/2003 file format, convert it.

Access 2003 cannot convert an MDB into an MDE if it's in the Access 2000
file format.
