Hello!
After I split my database, I tried creating a MDE file to put on everyone's
computer, but the ONLY error message I get is "Microsoft Access was unable to
create an MDE database." I have no idea why. Any suggestions?

Take a look at the "Can't make an MDE!" checklist at

Excellent! Thanks for the speedy response.
It seems that the only stumbling block that I don't have an answer for is
the first question -- does the code compile. How do I figure out if it does?

Thanks again!

Helen,

Open any VBA code module, and select the Compile <your database name>
option under the Debug menu.
