I'm trying to create my first MDE file in Access 2002,
but, I keep getting this error message: "Microsoft
Access Was Unable to Create an MDE Database."

I searched the knowledge base, and, it indicated that the
problem was associated with TableID's. I only have 50
forms and tables; not the 500+ referenced in the
knowledge base article. Anybody know what's causing this
problem?

Thanks,

A couple of possibilities:

1. Access 2002 can only create an MDE when the database is in Access 2002
file format; however, the default file format for Access 2002 is actually
Access 2000. Look at the caption on the Database Window: if it says <your
database name > Database (Access 2000 File Format), then you will need to
convert it to Access 2002.

2. If your database is already in 2002 format, open any code module and
then from the VBA menubar, click Debug, then Compile. If the compile fails
at any point, fix the error and continue compiling until it completes with
no error.
