2003 make mde file
Hi All.
My 2003 Pro platform will not make an mde - just sits forever, no errors. I have re-installed Access, and repaired installation - still no mde. The same file (in 2000 format) make an mde OK. any suggestions are most welcome. |

2003 make mde file
Will your MDB compile without any errors? Have you set the file format to
2003 format? NJS wrote: Hi All. My 2003 Pro platform will not make an mde - just sits forever, no errors. I have re-installed Access, and repaired installation - still no mde.

2003 make mde file
Yes and yes. If I copy the mde to a 2000 or 2002 platform they make the mde
OK. Just this machine, and I have un-installed and re-installed Access a few times? The 'make mde' process makes another mdb from the original (e.g. db1 - db2) but then the process hangs forever and I have to shut down Access via task manager.

2003 make mde file
ThanksRG. Unfortunately this problem is related to the platform, not the
Access mdb. It occurs on any attempt to make a mde, and could be related to a prior installation of .NET components, platform, SQL Express, etc. I probably have to remove everything and re-install - something I really dont want to do.

Decompiling would've been my first guess. Try importing the MDB into a new MDB.
