Cannot create an mde file

[SCubed]

I have an Access 2003 mdb application. I have split the database and created an mde file. My client asked for a few changes, so I made them in the mdb file and then tried to regenerate the mde file. It acts like it is working, then Access acts like it is done, but has really hung up. I have to force it to end. It doesn't create my mde file. Instead, in the folder I attempted to create the mde file in, it creates a db1.mdb file. When I try to launch that file to see what it has done, it says "File Not Found" and then I click OK, then it says that my application is corrupted. I've done a repair on the database and I still get the same thing. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Thank you!

sss,

go to the design mode, make a slight change, reverse the change and click on Debug/Compile. YOu have a non-fatal error that will show up. Fix it and the mde will MAKE.

I tried what you said, but got no errors when it compiled. I found another site on the web that said if you had a split db that you could just do a "save as name.mde" file from your mdb file. It appears to have worked, but it makes me nervous doing that. Has anyone tried this before?
