Make MDE file

[Guest]

Hi,

When I try to make MDE file. I got error message " Microsoft Access was
unable to create an MDE database". Does anyone know what wrong?

Thanks

There are a couple of possibilities. It could be that your database is not
compiled. Try compiling it first and see if it works. Failing that, is the
database created in the same version that you are attempting to make an MDE
file in?

How do I compile? I don't know what you mean. Database and MDE created in the
same version.
Thanks

Open your database. Press Ctrl + G. In the window that opens select Debug >
Compile. It will point you to any errors you have. Fix them, then go back to
the database and try to create the .mde file again.

Ashley,

It has happened to me when there is a missing reference on the project. Open
a module or go behind any form (View Code) and in there go to the menu and
click on Tools->References and fix anything that begins with the upper-cased
word MISSING.

Also, as Lynn Trapp said, try to compile all the modules to see if an error
come up.
