Thank you Lynn, I will check it a MDB copy is available.

..mde is the extension for a type of Access file that

has had all the code
removed from it and which does not allow access to the

design view of Forms
or Reports. If your friend has a copy of the .mdb

version that the .mde file
was created with, then you will be able to help him.

Otherwise, you won't.

I received an Access Database from a friend who is
wondering if I could modify some of the reports.

The extension is MDE. and it is locked. I can not

enter
design view on Forms and Reports. What does MDE mean

and
can it be unlocked?
