Creating MDE's (1 Viewer)

Rob.Mills · Jan 25, 2005

Hello,

I've been using MDE files for quite sometime and just recently the network guru upgraded me from 2k to XP. Now when I go to create an MDE file the option is disabled. Anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks

Would you need to convert to 2002 format to create an mde?

Rob.Mills · Jan 25, 2005

I've got my default format as 2000. Which I'd like to keep for a little while as not everyone in the company is upgraded yet.

Well, my impression is

Code:

if (KeepFormatAs2000 = true) then
  mde.enabled=false
else
  mde.enabled=true
end if

You can's set the enabled property for the .mde. Access sets the property to true when the db is in a state that will allow the .mde to be created. You can only view the property.

To make the .mde, your db must be saved in the 2002/2003 format. If you want to stay with the 2000 format, use another PC with A2K installed to create the .mde.

You forgot to comment on the "KeepFormatAs2000" property

Pat Hartman · Jan 26, 2005

I don't even know that either property exists. I don't see them as properties of the application object. I do know that certain properties cannot be set. They can only be interrogated. YOU don't get to decide if an .mde can be created. Only Access can decide that. So, if the mde property exists, you would be able to interrogate it but not set it.
