Make MDE File Taking a LONG Time - What's Normal

C

cp2599

I'm creating an MDE file on a database with less than 20 forms and 10
tables. Does anyone know the average length it takes to create an MDE
file? How will I know when it's done? Looking at Task Manager it
says "Not Responding" ... is this normal? If it's not normal, any
suggestions I what I need to do?

Have you tried compiling your db? <ALT> F11 then Debug>Compile
It sounds like there might be something wrong with the db. Fix any compile
errors before trying to make an MDE again.

BTW, you should have already done a Compact and Repair on the db.

Thank you for responding. The compile was done, but when I tried to
repair and compact the database an error resulted. Corrected that
error and the MDE went quickly.
