convert to mde

[linoreale]

Hi,
I'm using Access 2007.
I converted my access application to an mde file. When I open it, the main form shows but buttons don't work.
I.e. if I push the "exit" button, nothing happens. On the click event of the exit button there is "docmd.close" code.
What Can I do for comletely use an mde file?


Thank you and Regards

why are you converting to mde (2003) from 2007? Usually you would publish an accde file instead. It may be it hasn't compiled it correctly. Suggest go back to your original file (.accdb?) go into the vba editor and compile the code, then publish to accde and see if that works

Hi Ajax,
thank you for your reply,
I worked on A03 for a long time, but only recently I upgraded to A07, since a couple of months, and I don't know all of its features.
I'm going to publish an accde file as you suggested and try it.
Kind regards

Hi,
just created an accde compiled binary file from my (working) .accdb database, but doesn't work yet.
It seems not execute vba code inside buttons, but I can see tables and queries and use them.
What is wrong?
Thank you very much

Perhaps there is a corruption issue. Can you post the VBA that is used for the "exit" button?

If there is corruption, you may want to import all of the objects into a new file (from the original old file) using Access 2003. Then, try again with 2007.

Have you enabled the code?
