Please help!

Working on an Access 97 database that I have inherited, on win 2000. The
database is converted into an .mde file for the users.

I need to convert my new version to an .mde file, it does convert, but then
when trying to open it afterwards gives the error below. Believe it's
connected with the startup form frmsplashscreen which has 'on current', 'on
open' and 'on timer' events

The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the
following error: Cant find project or library.

I have gone back to the .mdb it was converted from and compared the startup
form to that of a previous version. All the code is the same.
I have also tried commenting out the on open event, which then changes the
error to

The expression On Current you entered as the event property setting produced
the following error: Cant find project or library.

I don't understand why it does not work, this same form opens fine when it's
an .mdb file.

This is the first time I have worked with .mde files...I've looked on the
internet, can't locate the exact error but similar ones point to problems
with files on my ws (references etc). Previous versions of this database as .
mde files work fine though?
Just say if you want the code from the startup form.

Help! Can't see what is causing this issue.

Which version of Access (?97) did you use to convert to .mde?

Have you recompiled the .mdb before converting to .mde?

Good luck
