1st Save a copy of your mdb file in another directory (Back up)
then Open Access with no db, Choose Convert to MDE and select the database you want to use. This should create an executable MDE file. It will only display forms and reports, NO TABLES or QUERIES shown.

Hope that helps

Hi I tried the following:

then Open Access with no db, Choose Convert to MDE and select the database you want to use. This should create an executable MDE file. It will only display forms and reports, NO TABLES or QUERIES shown.
The tables and queries are still visible and the exe file starts in Mc-Access. Can it not run independently?
thanks,
