Determine if database is mde database

[dpimental]

All, I want to disable the bypass key but only if the database is an mde database.

How can I tell if the database is an mde database?

Look at the file properties? Is the file extension .mde?

I'm sorry that I wasn't being specific enough.

When I posted this I had been posting a few other questions on programming.

I have a database that I've converted to mde db.

I am going to give the mdb db to an administrator, in case they need to change anything.

I have an AutoExec macro that calls a dbStartup procedure. I want the procedure to determine if the db is mde or not. If it's an mde, I want to set the bypasskey to be disabled (the shift for bypass).

Looking at the file extension only works if it hasn't been manually changed. The best way is to use the technique documented in faq705-3569.

Thanks. That looks like the code that I've been looking for.
