I am building an application using Access 2002.
It will consist of two .mdb's, one for the data tables only and the
other will be for the forms, queries, reports, macros, & modules only.
I know the .mde won't let users get to the external modules section of
the container, which provides security. Can they get to the code behind
the forms in an .mde?
Should both of them be .mde files?
What would be the performance advantage of users running one or both as
.mde's as opposed to them both being .mdb's
Thanks for the help.

No.

Making the back end an MDE only accomplishes one thing which is that a user
would no longer be able to create a new code-based object (form, report,
module) in that file. It does nothing to protect your tables or data so
most don't bother.

as mde's as opposed to them both being .mdb's
The performance advantage of and MDE is that you know that no portions of
the code can ever get uncompiled (which makes them run slower the first time
they run). If you always made sure that the MDB were fully compiled before
distribution then this should be a non-issue, but MDB can go from fully
compiled to NOT being fully compiled during use which is impossible in an
MDE.
A tid-bit advantage to an MDE is that runtime errors will cause all public
variables to be reset in an MDB, but not in an MDE. Whether that is
important or not would depend on how much you utilize public varaibles and
how much of an issue it would be to have them reset.

I'm having a problem that I'm having a lot of trouble with. I'm running
Access XP, with all the updates, including service pack 2. I'm on a Windows

every module I have, I get a Microsoft Visual Basic error "Unexpected Error"
(40230). I've tried decompiling, but that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas
would be greatly appreciated. If you are replying to...

My attempt to create an MDE file was unsuccessful. The attempt produced an
error that effectively said the (MDB) file was to big. The MDB consists of
about 30 tables, 50 forms and 3 Modules.
Have others encountered this problem and if so, have the found a work
around?

Under Access 2003 Developer Extensions there is an aplication which is
named Custom StartUp Wizard, with the posibility to make an MDB file
without any access to the internal code, design etc...... also it is
Not possible to import from other MDB it looks like same as a normal
MDE, but I'm not quite sure.
Question:
Is this MDB file special or is identically as an normal MDE ??

Hi,
I need to check if a database is an .mde version (end user gets other
menus's). In previous access versions the CurrentDB.properties("MDE")
property seemed to work, but I clould not find this property in Access
2000.
Is it possible to check if the databse is .mde in 2000 other than
extracting the .mde part from the name (is risky AFAIC).
Thanks,

Hi,
I've been asked to amend an Access 2002 DB that has been used by users
using the MDE version. I have, what seems to be the original MDB
version containing all the front end stuff but, by now, the tables are
way out of date.
They want me to make some changes to the database and keep their
current data..
