Convert ACCDE to ACCDB

Can you convert ACCDE to ACCDB?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert ACCDE to ACCDB?
No - not a direct conversion.

ACCDE → ACCDB decompilation is impossible: the VBA source was permanently deleted when the ACCDE was made. What remains is compiled p-code only. There is no tool that recovers the source. To modify the database, you must obtain the original .accdb from the developer and remake the ACCDE.
