.MDE File

The mde file extension was in the past mainly used in Microsoft Access for one of its default database formats until it was replaced by ACCDE format.

Microsoft Access is a database management system, part of Microsoft Office Suite, developed by Microsoft Corporation.

The mde file is an Access application, basically compiled *.mdb files.

Microsoft Access compiles all of the modules, removes all editable source code and compacts the database.

The resulting mde file allows the database users to perform normal database operations, however it prohibits any changes from being made to the objects that support, or the code that runs the application.

This mde file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.

An mde file extension is used for compiled database (application) files associated with the Microsoft Access. An mde file stores application compiled from mdb Access database file.
