Hi,
I have been developing a system for a few weeks now. each time I add more
to the db I copy and save the version and remame it byincrementing the
version no.
so I have several copies of the db from prototype 1.1 thro to 4.4
however when developing v3.8 or 3.9 I must have done something that is now
preventing access from making an MDE file. The only error message I get is
"Unable to make MDE" no other details - any suggestions?
 
it's possible that there's a problem in the VBA code that is preventing it
from compiling. even if you don't write VBA code yourself, sometimes Access
writes code for you - when you use a wizard to create a command button with
functionality, for example.

if you didn't create any modules or write any VBA code yourself, go to the
Modules tab in the database window, and click the New option. in the VBE
window, click the Compile button on the toolbar, or click Debug | Compile
from the menu bar.

if there are any errors in the code, Access will stop the compile with a
Compile error message, and take you to the line of code that errs out. you
need to fix the error, then repeat the Compile, continuing until the Compile
completes without error.

A similar thing bugged me for a long time.
If your using Access 2002 with A2000 fileformat - make sure you're not using
Access2002 specifik code such as
the RemoveItem or AddItem method of the listbox object. There may be others.
That issue gave med the "Unable to create MDE" message.
What versions are you using (app/file)?
