[AccessD] Access error

Hi Martin:

Thanks for the info. I think I have conformed to all the issues but I will
go through it all again and see if I have missed anything. It is too bad the
error message is not more informative. (If we are not through wining about
Access I suppose this could be added to the list ;-))

Thanks
Jim

Subject: [AccessD] Access error

Hi All:

I have just run across an error in MS Access 2003 I have never seen before.

The Access is the proper format... 2003, a new DB was created and all the
objects were moved from another MDB... giving the same error, the code
modules compiles with no errors, the number of objects in the MDB is
relatively small and the MDB has been decompiled.

The error is as follows:

<error message>
Microsoft Office Access was unable to create an MDE database

This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE
file.  Due to the method used to compile the database, a considerable number
of TableID references are created for each table.  The Microsoft Jet
database engine version 4.0 can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs
at one time.  Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this
limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form,
report, etc).
There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Jet
database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE.
However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the
database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as
many as 1,000 TableIDs are used.

More information about this error message online.
</error message>

The error is as far as I can see is irrelevant. I will now be going through
object by object removing or adding and compiling until the error either
stops or starts.

If anyone has seen this type of error before and has been able to resolve or
better yet find out why, I would be very appreciative.

Jim
