[AccessD] Mde trouble

You can only make an mde in the actual file format (not necessarily the
default) of the version you're using.  If you are using XP, even with a
2000 format, you can't create a 2000 mde.  Could that be your problem?

Subject: [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)
