Access 07 password

Access 07 states that use of a password also includes database encryption for
an ACCDB file. Nothing is said about a ACCDE file. What I want is to have a
password to open an ACCDE database with no database encryption just as I had
with Access 2000. Is this possible? What comes with the use of a password for
an ACCDE file....any encryption?
Thanks for your help>

If it comes with ACCDB, it will with ACCDE as well. The latter is just
a compiled version of the former. So: you can't have that, unless you
stay with the MDB format.
