Creating MDE

[Adrian Brown]

Ive got a smallish database - less than a dozen tables with little
complexity, about 10 forms with a small amount of code in hte background.
The problem is when i try and create an MDE from it - it locks up access.
Ive left it for about 10 minutes but its still not returned. How long
should this process take - should i leave it longer?

Something wrong there unless you have a really old computer with little RAM.

My current database with 50 linked Tables, 70 Forms + Subforms, 20 Reports,
30 Modules with heaps of codes takes less than 10 seconds to make MDE.

Have you compiled to check for compilation errors? Have you checked the
References?

have you made a copy on the db. once a MDE file, you can't
go back. and you wont be able to edit code or form or
anything. Make sure you make a copy of the original access
db.

I made several copies to be safe The pc is a fastish 3200 with 1gb ram.
Ive check for errors etc. It doesnt give any errors or anything just asks
for the output name and sits there afterwards with the background window.

What about before you try and make the mde..can you compile the code?
