I just made the jump from Office 2K to Office 2K3. My
access app that I had in 2K works fine. However, after I
convert it to 2K2-2K3 I get errors trying to make a .MDE
file from my app. The database is split into two parts,
the front end (where I get the error or should say I get
the "not responding" in the task mangler) and the data in
the "*be.mdb" file.

Any ideas as to why I cannot make a .MDE file? Do I need
something from MS that I have not found so far?

There are a couple of possibilities. First compile your front-end before
trying to make an MDE. Make sure you turn on Option Explicit to find any
undim'd variables. If your app still refuses to comply with your efforts,
try building a new one by using the SaveAsText, LoadFromText methods. There
some code at my website to do this:
