Zirak,

Make sure the ADP is compiled before trying.

Zirak,

I am having exactly the same problem (did you figure it out?). Carla, I'm not sure what you mean by compiling the ADP. Could you elaborate?

If anybody has suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been poking around for HOURS trying to find an answer (Access help, Microsoft site, google, etc..)

Thanks,
Birgit

My problem was solved when I Complied my DB.
Click Alt+F11 to get the VBA Editor, under the Debug menu choose Compile.

This will look through your project and make sure that every thing is correct.
For example, in may case, I under one of my Prived Sub, I had two End Subs, when I compleid it I found the error and I deleted one of the End Subs and then I was able to create the ADE file.

Good Luck

Sometime you will still get this error after compiling your database. I myself experience that problem recently when one of my databases was released on my network. I finally discovered that I needed to open my database with the /decompile command line then re-compile it. That fixed the problem.
