Convert an MDE back to MDB

[3063]

Is is possible to convert an MDE file back to an MDB file?
I have a database that is an MDE and I need to modify some of the forms and cannot get into the design portion of Access.

No way, you should have a backup of the original mdb.
Even if you import the forms in a new mdb, the code is lost.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for your reply. I thought you could not convert it back, but thought I would ask anyway. This database was not originally mine, so all I have is the mde. I just wanted to modify it and add some functional features to it.
