1) Check your VBA code for errors by opening any module and choosing Compile from the Debug menu.

2) Compact and Repair the DB before making the MDE.

3) If you still cannot make an MDE, try building a new, empty MDB, and copy all the objects from the first MDB into the new one, then make the MDE from the new MDB.

I've been all day trying to problem solve this same issue. Thanks to your post I was able to create an mde by using the last suggestion...creating a new database and importing the objects. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
