I have converted my mdb database into a mde database. the mde database runs
perfectly on the machine where it was created. When I copy that mde database
to a second machine, however, the reports do not work properly. Both
machines are running Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Access 2002. I
have tried both splitting the database and not splitting the database. I get
the same results in both cases.

The original database has user level security, and this security seems to
hold in all cases--at least it takes a password to open the database on both
computers.

Can anyone offer me any suggestions on how to proceed.
 
What do you mean, "the reports do not work properly"?

There are 50 squintillian errors that can occur with reports. It might help
to know what error(s) you're getting!

Motly I get the error "There was an error executing this command." Sometime
I get #Name?.

I do not get these errors on on the machine with the original database--only
on the copy on the remote database.
 
What I do in these cases is take a copy of the mdb,..and put it on that pc.

Then, when code errors..you can jump to/look at the code that caused the
problem.

The usual problem in these cases is broken references. If you have any type
of references to outlook, word etc, then you need to remove those from your
references...and use late binding...
