Make MDE File Taking a LONG Time - What's Normal

I'm creating an MDE file on a database with less than 20 forms and 10
tables. Does anyone know the average length it takes to create an MDE
file? How will I know when it's done? Looking at Task Manager it
says "Not Responding" ... is this normal? If it's not normal, any
suggestions I what I need to do?

Have you tried compiling your db? <ALT> F11 then Debug>Compile
It sounds like there might be something wrong with the db. Fix any compile
errors before trying to make an MDE again.

Thank you for responding. The compile was done, but when I tried to
repair and compact the database an error resulted. Corrected that
error and the MDE went quickly.
 
BTW, you should have already done a Compact and Repair on the db.
