[Roy Goldhammer]

Hello there

I have huge mdb application on access

This application can be compiled

But when i try to create mde file i get the error: microsoft access 2000
could not create mde file

and then the vb code is being defected and when i try to comlile it again it
create window error and go out of the program.

What i need to do to revive my mdb and what can cause the problem?

Roy,

The generic advice is to decompile the mdb before trying to make the
mde.

Make a batch file that opens the mdb with the /decompile switch, with a
command similar to:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "%1" /DECOMPILE


With %1 being the path and filename of the mdb.

After decompiling, compact and repair. If you have never done this
before, you should notice a big reduction in the size of the mdb,
especially if it is an older file.

Then, make your mde.
