Hi all,

I tried make an MDE out of Access 2002 sp3 database and got this message
"Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE database". Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

The title of the Database window will read:
xxxx (Format yyyy)
where xxxx is the name of the file, and yyyy is 2000 or 2002.

If it says 2000, you must convert to 2002 before you can make the mde:
Tools | Database Utilities | Convert.

If that is not the issue, make sure the database compiles. Open a code
window, and choose Compile on the Debug menu.
