MDE or ACCDE

I am soon to release a MS Access application that will work equally well as an mde as it will an accde file. I will be using SageKey and releasing it with MS Access 2007 runtime version included to avoid issues with various configurations. Which is a better format, mde or accde?

...oh

Joe, feel free to make any clarifications/corrections on my post above if the runtime makes a difference.

Thanks for the confirmation. I thought I read somewhere that 2007 files were slower but it sounds like my memory is misleading me....again. Appreciate your help
"Files"... in and of themselves are not slower of faster.

accdb files are more "complex" because of the new features, and hence they may take longer to process.
But I have never heard of a accde file being "significantly" slower than an mde file...

The bottom line is that if you are using any the Access 2007 format, (.accdb) you will only be allowed to create .accde files...
