MS Access Forum / General 1 / January 2006Problems while making MDE
I got problems when I want to make a MDE file. The app. got a lack of memory. Bart Access 2003 Bart, Amazingly enough, the solution to this problem is to 1) shut down every possible program on your system when you wish to create your MDE, or 2) buy more memory. Please note that you must also install said memory - simply purchasing it will not do the trick. If neither of these solutions takes care of your problem, you may need to discharge the static electricity buildup in your CPU. The steps for doing this are as follows: 1. Make sure your computer is turned on and your monitor is turned off. 2. Hold your computer about 10 inches above the desk surface. Keep a firm grip. 3. Drop the system onto the desktop. Make sure it lands flat and not to one side. 4. Repeat Step 3 15-20 times, then check to see if your static electricity buildup is gone. If not, repeat Step 3 10 more times. 5. Read BOFH. >I got problems when I want to make a MDE file. The app. got a lack of >memory. I suggest you do not follow Steve's instructions. Generally, problems in making MDEs are the result of compilation errors in your MDB. Go into the MDB's module windows, and Compile. Fix the errors, and see if that takes care of your difficulty. Larry Linson Microsoft Access MVP Yes, I suggest that you don't actually follow my suggestion as well, except the part about getting more memory or closing open programs. If you're getting an error about insufficient memory, chances are good that your system does not have enough memory to make the MDE. You may want to try making the MDE on another, better machine before spending money on new RAM, though. You may want to read BOFH anyway, for kicks. > Yes, I suggest that you don't actually follow my suggestion as > well, except the part about getting more memory or closing open > programs.

Most "out of memory" errors on Windows are not about insufficient RAM, which because of virtual memory and swap files is incredibly hard to use up, but because of resource problems. It can also be caused by corrupt files causing a process to go into a loop that uses up memory. This latter is the more likely scenario, and is the reason Larry suggests compiling the MDB before attempting to create the MDE. Your suggestions betray a lack of understanding of both Windows hardware/software and Access MDEs.  SignatureDavid W. Fenton http://www.dfenton.com/ usenet at dfenton dot com http://www.dfenton.com/DFA/ > Your suggestions betray a lack of understanding of both Windows > hardware/software and Access MDEs. Betray? Display perhaps. First of all, I've made it no secret that I do not understand or work with Access MDEs. Second, nearly every 'out of memory' or 'insufficient memory' error I have ever gotten was actually a result of the system running out of resources. Perhaps your version of Windows was programmed by more malicious Microsoft coders than mine who one day decided to switch all the error messages around so you'd never really know what the true problem is or how to fix it. To quote you: "It can also be caused by corrupt files causing a process to go into a loop that uses up memory. " Uses up memory? Yes, that sounds like something that would cause an 'out of memory' error...because it's using up all the memory available. Your response indicates a lack of proofreading. > Your response indicates a lack of proofreading. BTW Steve I was in no way agreeing with David in my response, merely pointing out an example of poor diction. No-one is perfect, some people need to tell themselves that more often. Understood, Keith. My own obsession with language and its use causes me to do the same thing. With a bit of irony I was about to point out that 'diction' is usually practiced in a verbal sense, but that it technically applies to both the written word and the spoken one. Touché. > Understood, Keith. My own obsession with language and its use causes me > to do the same thing. It occurs to me now that the word he may have been searching for is "portray" but I guess we'll never know as I'm in his killfile ;-) While David seems to have quite a bit of knowledge to share on the topic of MS Access, the allegations that have been brought out concerning a pedophilic appetite for underage males cause me to be very careful of accepting information from him at face value. I realize that that Access and the personal life are two very distinct areas for most people, but to me the allegations about David's personal life seem to overshadow his contributions that aren't strictly about Access. David, you are welcome to put me in your killfile; I will still be able to read your posts, which works for me as the knowledge seems to flow much harder from your side than mine. Note that I do not intend to hijack this post, nor am I making any accusations. > While David seems to have quite a bit of knowledge to share on the > topic of MS Access, the allegations that have been brought out You are a f.cking a.shole. SO he's not diplomatic when he trashes you, there's no need to be a total a.s pick from some dark hole. <PLONK> SignatureTim http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~tmarshal/ ^o< /#) "Burp-beep, burp-beep, burp-beep?" - Quaker Jake /^^ "What's UP, Dittoooooo?" - Ditto > You are a Apologies to all for the profanity.

I'm a former army officer - believe you me, profanity is a wonderful thing that saves me from having to think about adverbs and adjectives, but I've found in my 14 years of civilian life it tends to upset people... 8) When I do get involved in a project with another former tanker it's wonderful to be able to swear like a soldier again without having to worry about causing offense...

Either way, I can now relax with killfiled joy. >> While David seems to have quite a bit of knowledge to share on >> the topic of MS Access, the allegations that have been brought [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > ><PLONK> I beat you to the PLONK. I had been wondering for several days who this STEVE was, I had first thought it was perhaps PC Datasheet attempting to launch a new identity, free of the old associations, but the responses were too stupid. I then started thinking it was possibly another Don Mellon sock puppet. The pedophile reference pretty much proves it, as the only person who has shown an interest in that subject in these precincts is Don Mellon. SignatureDavid W. Fenton http://www.dfenton.com/ usenet at dfenton dot com http://www.dfenton.com/DFA/ Eh, I came back to apologize and here I'm already killfield. OK by me. My name is actually Steve. The only reason I made the pedophile reference is because of content posted to another newsgroup that was supposedly taken from David Fenton's own post. I tend to disbelieve most things of that nature, but the content posted was so disgusting that I have to at least consider the possibility that it is true, if carefully. David, though I haven't attacked you, I do apologize for even writing the post. I let my own foul mood get the best of me and it came out in the form of poor judgement. Whether or not you killfile me is your business. As I said before, most of the knowledge posted by you supercedes my own, so that information flow will not change. > While David seems to have quite a bit of knowledge to share on the > topic of MS Access, the allegations that have been brought out Totally uncalled for Steve. You should be ashamed. I notice that no one has actually addressed the issue I (shouldn't have) raised. Perhaps blind faith isn't all it's cracked up to be. > I notice that no one has actually addressed the issue I (shouldn't > have) raised. Perhaps blind faith isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's irrelevant. >> I notice that no one has actually addressed the issue I >> (shouldn't have) raised. Perhaps blind faith isn't all it's >> cracked up to be. > > It's irrelevant. It's also an accusation based on a complete falsehood that has been refuted many times, and not just by me. This is clearly a Don Mellon sock puppet again. Killfile him and ignore him and all will be well for everyone. SignatureDavid W. Fenton http://www.dfenton.com/ usenet at dfenton dot com http://www.dfenton.com/DFA/ > While David seems to have quite a bit of knowledge to share on the > topic of MS Access, the allegations that have been brought out > concerning Umm, David and I may not see eye to eye on certain issues but I don't think it was necessary to rake up all of that. I accused no one. I have yet to see anything David has written to contradict the accusations that have been made in the past. When I have more time I will Google him and see what there is to see. Lasy night in CDMA Larry and I held an election to choose a new judge. You were not selected. So SHUT UP! By your logic, anyone who is not a judge cannot speak/post. Therefore, unless you were elected the new judge, you must abide by the same restriction. Compact Oxford English Dictionary betray · verb 1 act treacherously towards (a person, country, etc.) by revealing information to or otherwise aiding an enemy. 2 be disloyal to. 3 unintentionally reveal; be evidence of. I had to read and re-read your post to understand what you were implying as David's sentence was perfectly clear to me. I use [betray] = [be evidence of] quite often. It is something I grew up with, like [to spleen against], or [boo-ee (buoy)]; is it merely local usage? As David uses it and Oxford lists it, I think not. > First of all, I've made it no secret that I do not understand or > work with Access MDEs. > > Second, nearly every 'out of memory' or 'insufficient memory' > error I have ever gotten was actually a result of the system > running out of resources. . . . That's what I said. That's what you *didn't* say. You said to add RAM. RAM has nothing to do with resources *except* when extremely limited (like 64MBs). > . . .

An infinite loop is not going to be resolved by adding memory unless you add an infinite amount of RAM. > Your response indicates a lack of proofreading. You are an idiot. <PLONK> SignatureDavid W.
