unable to create a mde database

[pthakar]

While converting into a mde file I got an error message that microssoft access was unable to create a mde file.

Any body has any idea what it is???

thanks

possible causes:

1. Compile errors - fix them, then try again. CTRL-G, Debug->Compile and Save All Modules
2. Version-related errors (running a 2000 MDB in Access2002?)

compile errors is usually correct as was said above. The other possibility is trying to do an mde with 2000 code in 2003 ACCESS. It will only mde with it's default engine.

Excellent suggestions above.

Also, try compacting and repairing the db before you try to convert. On the main Access screen, click tools/database utilities/compact and repair.

Sometimes it might even be a form that is corrupted.
To find this form make a new db and import everything. The funny form will automatically show by stopping the importing process.
What to do about the corrupted form is difficult to say. Mostly the only solution is to import one from an older version of your db.

I suppose you do not continue developing in ALWAYS the sam db?

Have fun, compress your db.

Try using the /decompile command-line switch to fix this. See this page for more details:
