[AccessD] Mde trouble

I'm using A2K and am working with a database that fluctuates between about
    10 and 18 megs.  It has been working fine, until I tried to create an 
.mde
    with it.
 
 The first .mde attempt, seemed to work ok, but literally didn't compact 
the
    database more than a few thousand bytes (apparrently it normally makes
    substantially more difference than that)
 
And now, I am simply getting a message saying that 'MS Access was unable 
to
    make an MDE file', even though there appears to be no problem with it, 
and the code compiles fine?!
 
I have tried importing the objects, and a new database creates an mde with
    just the tables. But fails with the forms, and fails with the modules 
when I have tried on
    seperate databases.

Other than this problem, the database seems to work fine and isn't having
    any problems compacting either.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Many thanks (in advance)
