Converting the .accdb to .accde format is not a requirement of Access libraries. In fact, any
Access .accdb file can be used as a library; the main advantage of using the .accde format is that
no one is able to change the code, forms, and other objects in an .accde file.

Professional Database Development Part IV
Load the database as a library
Once you??™ve created and tested the library database, you simply reference it using one of the reference
techniques described earlier in this chapter. There is no special process for converting an
application database to a library.
You??™ll want to give the database an .accde filename extension to indicate that it??™s a library and not
a normal database file. By default, the Access Open dialog box won??™t show files with the .accde
extension, so there is little chance a user will accidentally open a library database.
If you find it necessary to disguise the identity of your Access library files, you can provide an
alternate filename extension for your libraries.
