MDE files what are they exactly?

[Avid Fan]

Do they require Access installed on the host machine to run?

Do they need to be installed into the registry?

Do they need other files to run?


Thanks

hi Avid,

Do they require Access installed on the host machine to run?

Yes. Or at least the Access runtime.

Do they need to be installed into the registry? No.


Do they need other files to run?

Depends on the file itself as it may reference others.

A *.mde is the same as a *.mdb without code in source. So it contains
only the compiled code of forms, reports or modules. Thus you cannot
modify these objects.

Thanks for your quick reply. Access 2007 is supposed to come with
free runtimes. Do you know where I find them?
