I converted a 2000 format to 2002, and split the database. I then tried to make a mde file out of the front end and it simply returned the message "cannot make the mde file" with no further explanation.

I created a database from scratch in 2002 format, and a mde was created no problem.

Am I going to have redo all of my old databases??

I even tried creating a blank 2002 database, and importing everything from the 2000 database hoping to trick it, and that did not work.

Thanks in advance
Bryan
 
Did the FE database compiles properly before the conversion to mde ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Not being a programmer, if by compile you mean "split" properly into the front end and back end, yes it did.
 
When in the FE go to the VBE (Alt+F11), menu Debug -> Compiles ...
