I have a MDB file which I publish as MDE for users. I have noticed that the MDE file does not quite have the same charachter as other MDEs as I can see nearly every single object which are normally non editable. Is there an explanation for this?

Before you made the mde did you hide these objects with the Startup... screen? Have you locked down the ShiftKey?

Can you edit any of the objects?

I think Imight be wrong in my understanding of MDEs. I looked at tables and queries but I did not quite try to amend forms which I couldn't. So looks like what I have is the right format of mde where I can amend queries but not forms and reports. If this is how it should be then I don't have an issue. But appreciate your willingness to help.

It sounds like your mde is normal.
