The Access software version and the file-format version of the database file
must match. One of the traps is that A2002 software creates new database files in A2000 file format be default. However, to create MDE using A2002 software, the source MDB file must be in A2002 file format. If you use A2002 software and your database file is in A2000 file format, you need to convert the database file to A2002 file format first. -- HTH Van T. Dinh MVP (Access) "????" wrote in message ...

Hi Yonina -
If you have not yet done so, open any form - click on Form View, choose View / Code or click on the Code Button - on the menu Choose Debug and then choose the Complie option (first on menu). Close it down and try to make the MDE file. Yours - Dika "קובץ" wrote: I'm trying to make MDE file. usually I have no problom.

What version of Access are you using? If it's Access 2002 or Access 2003,
what format is the database in? (It should say on top of the database window). The default in Access 2002 and 2003 is the Access 2000 format, but neither version can create an MDE unless the file format is changed to the newer version. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Trying to make MDE file
When I was trying to create an MDE I had the same problem "Make MDE File..."
was there, but grayed out. You need to have your Db closed, for that option to be accessable. Hope this helps Mary I'm trying to make MDE file. usually I have no problom. Now when I go in to Tools/DB utilities/Make MDE file it is not available! why is that? and how do I fix it? thanks! Yonina. |

Trying to make MDE file
If you're using Access 2002 or Access 2003, and the database is in the
default Access 2000 format, the Make MDE File... will always be grayed out. The file must be in the same format as whatever version of Access you're using. If you need to convert, look under Tools | Database Utilities. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!) "mj" wrote in message ...
