Re: mbd and mde files

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

And don't lose the MDB: you can't make design changes to MDEs, and you can't
convert them back into MDBs.

Nothing magic. Just make a backup of your mdb and follow the Make MDE
wizard.

mdb files allow you create, modify, and delete Access Objects
(Reports,
Forms, Tables, etc). They are useful for building an application.
mde
files
have that ability removed from them. It is best to deploy mde files
to
users
so they can only run the application but cannot modify any Access
Objects
and, therefore, not muck up (or steal code from) your application.

I'm not aware of mbd files but "mdb" are standard Access database
files.
An "mde" file is similar to an "mdb" except its forms, reports, and
code
are stored in a semi-compiled state. You can't edit the form,
report,
and
code designs in an "mde" file.
