MDE Question

[Guest]

Once you complete your access database is it best to save a backup and create
a MDE. However I thought I read that you couldnt do that if you use macros
in your project.

You can use macros in an MDE.

The problem with macros is that you have no error handling. If you use them
in a runtime version of Access, and an error occurs, the runtime shuts down.
So using macros in a runtime is likely to give unsatisfactory results. MDEs
are often used with the runtime, but that's quite a different scenario from
using an MDE under the full Access.
