[AccessD] Corrupted mde

Right you are, sir! I can't figure it out myself.  Unless the back end is
somehow locked down and, being an mde, you can't get to the unlocker.

That doesn't make sense.

The only difference between an mde and an mdb is that the mde has been
compiled and the 
source code removed.   It prevents changes to forms, reports and VBA code.
It has ZERO  
influence on whether or not someone can alter the data.
