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. The main goal of ACCDE files is to prevent unauthorized modification of Microsoft Access databases. The typical ACCDE format is used when a database application needs to be distributed to multiple users who will only need to run, but not modify the database objects. [ ⏩ ] ACCDE file extension

How to convert the file from SILK to ACCDE?

To successfully convert the SILK file to ACCDE, 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.SILK). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case ACCDE (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than 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. SILK to ACCDE. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting SILK files to ACCDE 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 ACCDE, while before this step we had the SILK file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ACCDE file, or not.
