Hi! Is there a way I can go in and edit tables, etc by opening a MDE file?
I know it's already an executable but can I open it as a normal MDB file?

Thanks much,
Teo
 
An MDE is not an executable. It is simply an MDB with the source code
removed. Conversion to MDE does nothing to tables. Yes, you can edit tables
by opening the MDE in Access, just as you could when it was an MDB. But no,
you can not open an MDE as an MDB. It is very important to keep the original
MDB safe, as the only way to make design changes to forms, reports, or
modules is to make them to the MDB and produce a new MDE.
 
For some reason I have forms, etc but I can't open the tables.
How would I open the tables, etc.
