Hello there

I need to build an access probram that create forms on runtime according to
data. the creating forms include adding controls, properties ect...

On mdb i have no problem doing this by opening the form in a design mode and
add controls by CreateControl method.

But on mde however there isn't option of opening form in a design mode (as
far as i know)

how can i work with program like this on mde?

any help would be useful

One can't open a form in Design View in an MDE database. Some of an
existing form's design can be altered while in Form View, but controls and
properties can't be added to the existing form, nor can new forms be
created, in an MDE database.

The changes you need to make will either have to be done to an MDB database
file, or the forms need to already exist in an MDE database, with the
controls' Visible property set from False to True at Runtime so that they
are displayed to the user.

HTH.
