How to Create a MDE

[Guest]

I have a 2000 Database. I converted to 2002-2003. I ran the
compact/repair. I ran the Make MDE. Now my computer just sits, why? How
long does it normally take to create a MDE file? Also, I have noticed while
access it locked up there is also a new file that it create, a db1. why is
it doing this? Is it supposed to be this way?

After converting to 2002/3, hit Ctrl-G and then Debug, Compile; then hit the
save button. Close the window and try to create a mde again.

Part of the process of creating a mde is a compact (and a db1 is created
during that process).
