The design and new button for forms and reports are greyed out and this is a
mde file. Can anyone please help me? This is urgent. Thanks.

You can't modify MDE file as the text component of the code has been remove.

You need to modify the MDB file then create a new MDE file assuming that you
have split your database to Front-End and Back-End.

Click to expand...

They're grayed out BECAUSE it is a .mde file; such files do not allow
creation or modification of forms, reports, or VBA code. That's what
they're for - a "locked down" version of the application for
distribution to users.

If you need to create a new form or report, or modify an existing one,
you must use the .mdb file from which the .mde was created, and then
make a new .mde. If you didn't keep a copy of the .mdb file... you'll
have to start over from scratch; there is no way to recover the code.
