Error in creating .mde file

I'm trying to convert a .mdb file into a .mde file. When
I try to create it, I get an error that says "Error in
loading DLL". What does this mean and how can I find out
how to correct whatever is wrong? I've tried creating a
blank database and converting that to a .mde file and it
worked. So I must have something in a macro or other
part of my database that is causing this error to occur.
Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does the code compile in the mdb?

As a general rule during development...when you change code...you *should*
as a habit try compiling it..to ensure you have no errors.

Of course...a mde requires that all code compiles (one of the reasons why
you "distribute" a mde).

So, while looking at code in the mdb...try a debug->compile.

If you have any errors...you need to fix them. (you likely don't want errors
in your mdb either...but you can't create mde until all errors are removed).
 
Albert:

Thanks for the response. However, I do not have any
code. Everything is done using macros. I'm not a
programmer, so I would be totally lost if I had to deal
with Visual Basic. Is that my problem? That everything
is done through macros and not through code?

Not having code should not matter.

While looking at a form in desing mode..whack ctrl-g.

This is gets you into the debug window (vb area).

You can no try and compile your project.

Just go:

Debug->compile <your project naem>

If it stops on any errors..then perhaps you have some code in the system?
