I want to package an application that will allow the end
user to write their own ad-hoc reports; like format their
own invoices. I believe that the Report Wizard is not
available in an MDE file. If I distribute an MDB file
then my code will be accessable. How else can this be
accomplished?

You can secure the application and not give design rights to existing
objects. Have a look at the security FAQ:

And, in addition to what Arvin suggests, you can package your code in an MDE
that you include with your MDB as a library, from which you call functions.

Just be aware that no security is foolproof, nor impregnable.
