Cannot make mde?

[scorpio1769]

I attempted to create and mde of an Access 2002 app and the "Make mde file" is greyed out. Since I have many sources for linked tables, I thouhgt that might be the problem and so created a test consisting of one table and one form..."Make MDE file" is still greyed out.

Is the make mde function only enabled in the Dev version of Access?

Thank you much,

scorpio

There are some restrictions on creating MDE files. See the help topic "About MDE files" for a list. Basically, using Access user security or a database password, using replication, or using references to library databases or add-ins will require you to take certain steps before you can create an MDE file.

See what verison of Access the database is in (you can check by going to the Tools menu and selecting Convert Database). If it's in Access 2000, the MDE option will be grayed out. You'll need to convert it to 2002 for MDE to work.
