Is there any way to modify forms in an MDE file ?

I have the associated MDB file bit it does not have any forms associated
with it .


Any help appreciated.
 
First of all you cannot make any modifications to an MDE file. That file was
created from an MDB file.

The "associated mdb" file that has no forms in it, sounds like the "backend"
data file which would only contain tables. This would not be the mdb file
from which the mde file was created. There was another mdb file. It would
have had all of the forms, queries, reports, etc.

You will need to look a little further for the correct mdb file.
 
Pawan,

The simple answer and one you are not going to like is NO. That is the whole
point of compiling to a MDE file. One aim is to protect the developer's
design.

No. The purpose of creating an mde file it to prevent object modification.
What do you mean when you say "associated mdb"? Since an mde is created from
an mdb, your statement doesn't make sense unless you mean the mdb is the back
end database. You need the mdb the mde was created from.
 
I have got an MDB file containing only the tables. I guess I have to ask for
the MDB file containing the forms,reports etc.
