You cannot convert an mde. You must have the mdb to do a conversion.
If you don't have the .mdb and can prove ownership there is a service
that can reverse engineer the mde. I don't have a link to that service
on this computer - perhaps someone else does.

Also, I have NO idea how much the service charges or how good the
results are.
