I have a db that is being used as an MDE file. I have made some changes to the code on the original mdb file. how do I update the mde and not effect the data?
An MDE does not contain data, only the Back End (by data I mean tables). You update an mde by creating another one from the newly updated mdb, then writing over the old mde. You should be able to find several threads and/or FAQ's on automating that process. If you changed alot of things in your mdb, and only want to institute one of them, I believe it's called "Shit out of luck". I don't imagine you did though, and I could be wrong about that anyway (probably am).
Remeber to always keep a development copy, so that you can experiment, and import what you like to the main mdb, and convert that into an mde for issue.
