For those of you who still use ade's (which I do), here is a handy 
tip I found at this location regarding creating ade files in Access 
2010 (the tip is at the very bottom)

You can create a .mde using Access 2010.  You have to right click in 
the white space of the Ribbon and select Customize the Ribbon.  Then 
in the Choose comands from: dropdown choose All Commands.  Scroll 
down until you find Make MDE File...  Then you create a new group on 
the ribbon in Customize Ribbon and add the command to your new group 
on the ribbon.  It will tell you to restart the database.  Once you 
have done that, Make MDE File will show up in the new location you 
added it to on the Ribbon and it will create the .mde for you.

What I discovered is that if you load an adp then the ribbon item 
changes to Make ADE (as it does in Access XP etc).
