Can't convert to MDE after adding refresh links functions

[ET]

I don't know whats the problem, but after I added functions
to first verify, then relink linked tables if not found,
now I can't convert that database to MDE format.
I can split the database, but can't convert
part of the database with forms, reports, queries to MDE format.

Can somebody advice on this?

In the code window (Alt+F11), go to Debug|Compile. Is the database compiled?
It needs to be in order to create the mde file. If not, do you get any
errors when you try to compile?

Where are you trying to save the mde file to? I've see problems if trying to
save to a network share. If so, save to a local directory then copy the file
to the network share.

Have you installed all of the updates for Office XP? Go to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/of...e/default.aspx and click Check
for Updates.

Thank you Tom and Wayne,

I found solution for this problem here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=814858

the only difference is, on step 1. instead of running /decompile from
Start/Run,
I run it from Command prompt...

It works fine, converts to MDE.
