Hi all, A lister named Ryan e-mailed me off-line with a suggestion that was almost correct. He suggested that I change a module, save, restart, change it back, save, compact & repair, then create the MDE. Unfortunately, that did not do the trick. So I went looking in the MS KB and found KB article 814858 - ACC: Access May Stop Responding When You Try to Create an MDE File or an ADE File http://tinyurl.com/2ryvk http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814858&Product=acc20 02 Basically, it says that the compiled VBA project of the MDB was corrupt. It then says to use the /DECOMPILE switch to decompile the project. I did this, then compiled, then compacted & repaired. Voila! I can now create an MDE.

Hey all, I have an app that has been compiling to an MDE fine for several months now. All of a sudden, it will not create an MDE. The app will compile, but when I go to create an MDE (it is in XP format), it asks where I want the output file to go, then sometimes I'll see the progress bar flash to 100%, then it does one of two things. It will either sit there forever (I have left it for 2 hours before) while still using 80-90% CPU utilization, or it will crash Access XP. Usually it just appears to lock up. Note that a normal compile takes maybe 1 minute. I am pretty sure that I have not installed any new software or anything. My coworker is able to pull form VSS and compile the app with no problems. I am running on Windows 2000 Pro, .5G Ram, 700Mhz P-III. Anyone have any ideas as to what may going wrong?
