I have a database that I want to create an MDE file of. When I attempt to do this, I get an error message of Access being unable to create the MDE file. I think it may be due to the fact that I was experimenting with user-level security some time ago and found that I didn't really want to do have this security. I attempted to "remove" the security by following the Help menu instructions, but only seemed to create the same user-level security. I have also tried to import objects into a new database, but the security follows these objects. What I want to be able to do is simply create an MDE file of my database. I don't want or need user-level security. Can anyone provide some advice on how to completely remove this type of security or at least be able to create the MDE file that I want? Much appreciation in advance!!
