    Forms don't work after making accde file

    Want to distribute an Access 2007 program. Making accde file to protect forms, tables, queries, vba, etc.

    After converting the database, forms don't seem to work (display form, my dashboard/main menu, etc.)

    Is there some other step that needs to be done before compiling the database?

    Did you compile and debug before making the ACCDE? Also, is the ACCDE stored in a trusted folder?
