I have a rather simple A2000 database-one table (not linked), a couple of queries, a couple of forms, no reports and a couple of macros
After finishing I tried to create an MDE file so no one could moify the orig. file. The utility runs for a while and then generates an error which I checked w/no success on Micro. site:"Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE file?

Ideas????
 
You need to compile the db first and correct any errors found before converting to mde.

thanks but it didn't make any difference. It complied, ran correctly and I still get an error
 
Also, you say it's a Access2000 db, but are you running it/trying to convert to MDE in Access2000 or another version?
