Richard,

If you create an .mde then you must, repeat MUST, keep the .mdb it was
created from.  The .mdb has all the human-readable code, the .mde has
only compiled machine-readable code in it.  Thus, you cannot make
changes in the .mde unless you like bit-twiddling or have a product that
can reverse-engineer the .mde.

Further to this debate - are there any drawbacks/limitations or
important considerations concerning functionality to take into account
when using an mde?
