Convert ACCDB to ACCDE

How can I convert .accdb files (Access 2007 Database) to .accde format (Access Execute Only Database).

How to convert accdb to accde file

.accde files are database file generated by Microsoft Access. They save a "locked-down" version of an .accdb file in order for the entire Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code to be saved in a compiled format. It cannot neither be viewed, nor edited. This way it protects the custom database code.

Generate compiled-executable .accde databases from .accdb source files in Microsoft Access.

  1. Go to 'File - Save & Publish'
  2. Select 'Save Database As'
  3. Make ACCDE
  4. Select 'Save As'

It's quite possible that certain other applications that work with Microsoft Access databases can also generate .accde files from original sources.
