Good day!
I created a database using MS Access 2003 and I want it make to MDE file but when I click the Make MDE File I got the pop up message like this:
You cannot create a Microsoft Offiece Access ADE or MDe file from a
database saved in Microsoft Office Access - 2000 format
Convert the database to the current version of Microsoft Office Access. Then create the ADE or MDE File.
When I check the Tools>Database Utilities>Convert Database>To Access 2000 File Format it was disable or grey out. I don't know why:confused:
What should I do? or what configuration I need to do?
Thank you

You DON'T want it in Access 2000 format


You might want to re-read this bit

You cannot create a Microsoft Offiece Access ADE or MDe file from a
database saved in Microsoft Office Access - 2000 format

Especially the bits in bold

Is it possible that the switchboard could be executable? I want to happen be no need to open the ms access to view the forms. Only the switchboard form would be executed. I read some forums that I need the Microsoft Access Runtime and I'm not familiar with it.
I already install Microsoft Acess Runtime and honestly I don't know what is the use of it
Thank you

You do need the Access Developer extensions to package the whole thing up.
