Hello there

I have huge mdb application on access

This application can be compiled

But when i try to create mde file i get the error: microsoft access 2000
could not create mde file

and then the vb code is being defected and when i try to comlile it again it
create window error and go out of the program.

What i need to do to revive my mdb and what can cause the problem?

any help would be useful
 
Roy,

The generic advice is to decompile the mdb before trying to make the
mde.

Make a batch file that opens the mdb with the /decompile switch, with a
command similar to:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "%1" /DECOMPILE


With %1 being the path and filename of the mdb.

After decompiling, compact and repair. If you have never done this
before, you should notice a big reduction in the size of the mdb,
especially if it is an older file.

Then, make your mde.

-Ken
