A file with the .accde extension is a Microsoft Access execute-only database. It protects an .accdb file. Older Access versions used the .mde format for securing .mdb files. The .accde format replaces the .mde format.
The .accde file compiles all VBA code into executable only form. So the code cannot be viewed or edited. The .accde files are more compact without source code. They are used instead of .mde files by newer Access versions.
You can save an Access database as an .accde file. Use the File > Save As options. Then select Make ACCDE and Save As. The Make ACCDE option secures the database code.
Files with the .accde extension can only be opened by certain applications. These files may contain data instead of documents. So they may not be meant for viewing.
The .accde format is for Access 2007. It integrates database encoding used by Access 2007. The format stores ACCDB files. It is compatible with Windows software.
The .accde file extension is categorized as a database file. The format has low popularity among everyday users. But it is found on both desktops and mobile devices.
