Acess 2007 - cant create .accde

hello,

i am having a problem creating a .ACCDE file from an Access
2007 .ACCDB file.

its somewhat large application, about 80 megs. it was originally an
Access 2000 app that somebody else wrote for our user base, which ran
it as a .MDE. i have now converted it Access 2007 .accdb, and am to
use the "Make ACCDE" function off the Database Tools ribbon bar.

upon doing so it says i need to enable the content as a security
feature. no problem.

afterward tho, it reports:

"Microsoft Office Access was unable to create the .accde, .mde,
or .ade file."

....it has more info under "Show Help >>", which says the error is
usually associated w/ compiling large databases. dunno if that applies
to mine or not, since its the same app that Access 2000 was able to
convert to its .MDE format.
.....any thoughts of advice on things to try? im new to access, not
really the dev on this project, but tasked w/ the conversion.
thanks!

ah...found a post on this. the error message is a typical MS red
herring -- what it really means to tell me, is that there is a problem
compiling one of the modules. evidently the only way you can locate
what & where is to open the VBA and attempt to Debug-->Compile there.

That's what it can mean yes. And it's quite standard to compile before making an
MDE. Actually I compile every few lines of code to catch any typos and such.

There actually is a limit in large MDBs in previous versions of Access. I would
expect that this limit has not been fixed in A2007 although I could be quite wrong.

You receive a "Microsoft Access Was Unable to Create an MDE Database" error message
in Access 2002

nonetheless.... i think the cause of this error is far more likely to
be a compile error (due to, say, typo) than for it to be a db size
issue. thus, the error description is a hopeless red herring that
will, more often than not, be completely inaccurate.

Hmmm...This is interesting. While reading info on packaging an Access 2007 runtime app, it's mentioned that a file such as, .accde (mde for 2007) will be changed to .accdr, where the final r means runtime. I assume by changing the extension manually yourself from the .accde to accdr you can then simulate the runtime (instead of the old way of using the /runtime switch). I tried this, and it works. When you double-click the ..accdr, it...

Hi, I've converted my Access 2007 database to an accde format as I don't want users to be able to modify it. The only problem is that all the code has stopped working. I have split the database and the backend is on a server and the location is in my trusted locations setting. Can anyone help? Thanks, Mark

Sorry for the long post, I've tried so hard to solve this one but I'm just stuck! We've had a multiuser .mdb file on a network share for years. I know it's not ideal, but it's worked well from Access 2000 to 2003. Ever since we upgraded to 2007, we've noticed some serious bloating. When we were on 2003, after a fresh compact, the database would be at about 20 MB. After normal use it would grow to about 25 MB and then significantly...

Anybody now if i can do this programtically? My challenge is that i have a maybe 10 distributions a week with updates and changes which i now have found the accde format to be of good use. I also want to force our developers to change the title, write version history and so before we make the accde file and all that i can manage if we can get VBA to make the ACCDE file instead of pushing the button in Access
