This article explains what an ACCDE file is, how to open it, and how to convert it to another format.

A file with the ACCDE file extension is a Microsoft Access execute-only database file that is used to protect an ACCDB file. It replaced the MDE format (which protected an MDB file) used by older versions of Access.

The VBA code in an execute-only database is stored in a way that prevents anyone from seeing or modifying it. When you save a database as an ACCDE file, you can also choose to protect modified database code and encrypt the entire file with a password.

An ACCDE file also prevents anyone from making changes to the reports, forms, and modules.
