Is there a way to find the original database a MDE file
is created from? Possibly a string that would list the
name and/or path where the database resided when the MDE
was created.
Thanks!

No there isn't. I'd suggest you use Start, Search, Files or Folders and
look for dbName.* or for *.mdb and see if you can find it that way.
 
If successive MDEs of the same MDB are necessarily identical, this would
work:

for each MDB
create an MDE
see if MDE files match

but I don't know whether successive MDEs of the same MDB are necessarily
identical.

Might be worth a try!

Cheers,
TC
