Hi,
I want to open a form of the current database in design vew from the library
database (code database). I can open the currentdb.form in design view, if
the library database is in .mda version. But if the library database is an
executable .mde, I cannot open the form of the current database in design
view. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
Krishna

no. when a db is converted to a .mde file, forms and reports cannot be
opened in Design view. which is pretty much the point of making a .mde file
in the first place - it protects your forms, reports and public modules from
accidental or deliberate changes by the user.
