[AccessD] AXP Can't Make MDE File

I've had this happen as Erwin describes, too.

But just to make sure:  have you checked if the MDE failure occurs on a
brand new database?  It would be good to rule out the possibility of an
Access level problem rather than an app level problem.

I Had this once....

A corrupt vba form module was the problem, due to this unsolved problem with
VBa6.dll when using A2K and AXP on same pc.
Decompiling/compiling does no resolve the prob.

You need to find wich module is corrupt.
Only one way to find out.

Doubleclick on every form and ohter modules and classes to see the code.
If you see the code, than OK
If corrupt, you get an error.

Then you have to recreate the app.
Make a new DB, import everithing EXCEPT the form/module/class that is in
error.

Recreate the missing form manualy.


You can write a function that opens up all modules one by one.
I seen it before but I dont have the code at first sight.
I blieve its pretty easy to do.

In the old days Access 97 used to choke without error making mde files when
there were too many consecutive line continuations in any module.  The max
may be higher but I've always limited it to 9 and the problem never
recurred.  If this is the issue, wonder why they add new features but don't
fix known bugs that carry over from year to year.
