What is ACCDE file?
The ACCDE file extension defines an Microsoft Access database file saved in an executable only mode. This format prevents users from view or edit the design of objects such as queries, forms and reports.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from ACCDE to ACCDB?
To successfully convert the ACCDE file to ACCDB, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.ACCDE).

What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. ACCDE to ACCDB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting ACCDE files to ACCDB files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension ACCDB, while before this step we had the ACCDE file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ACCDB file, or not.
